Power Macintosh 5260 Series User's Manual

The Power Macintosh User's Manual for the 5260 series ("Includes setup, troubleshooting, and important health-related information for Power Macintosh 5260 series computers") is Apple Computer's 1996 owner's manual for the Power Macintosh 5260. The PDF has 191 pages; it is an electronic original with a text layer, and its internal title, "0309892APM5260UM", suggests Apple document number 030-9892-A.

What it settles

Appendix D gives a 12 MB minimum and 70 ns SIMMs. Apple's Power Macintosh/Performa 5260, 5280 Series Service Source gives 16 MB and 80 ns or faster, so the two Apple documents disagree.
