General Information Introduction Kingston Technology welcomes you to the growing family of IBM PS/2 users who have chosen Kingston Memory Expansion options for their computers. As application programs expand in size and complexity, the need for efficient and reliable memory expansion becomes critical.
16MB of Random Access Memory to IBM PS/2 Models 50, 50z, 55sx, 60, and 65sx personal computer systems. There are three models of the KTM609/16: Type I has four SIMM sockets with no memory soldered directly to the board; Type II has 4MB soldered and three sockets for expansion;...
