I'm guessing this is Off-Topic, since I think 72-pin SIMMs are newer than
10 years (not really sure). However, I've no idea where else to ask about
this.
A friend of mine just sent me a pile of RAM that he'd been given and
couldn't use. He was thinking the stuff was Parity, I'm not so sure. I
was hoping to be able to use the stuff to bump up the RAM in some of my VMS
boxes (Alpha's that require 72-pin True Parity RAM).
Pile #1 (12 chips, 8 big & 4 smaller):
SEC KMM53616000AK-6
KOREA 9632
Barcode
006-3301427
Pile #2 (12 chips, 8 big & 4 smaller):
NEC
MC- 428000A36BH-70
9350XE
Piles 3 & 4 defininitly aren't.

I think there were at least a couple of people who wanted to know when I
would post the AEA PK-64 'PakRatt' on E-pay.
I have done so. It may be viewed through the following link. Bidding

no web site that I know of, but if you can get a copy of IBM's pc pocket
reference manual, that has some general guidelines on IDing memory. come to
think of it, i think the pocket ref guide is online somewhere, like IBM
germany but not sure...

Except that Zane gave the type number off the SIMM, and this site gives the
IC types. Not the same thing!

Actually, it says 8M x 36, which is 32MB with parity :-)
Since Zane wrote that it's an NEC SIM with a date code of 1993, I looked it
up in the 1993 NEC databook :-)

Hello. I'm adquired recently one HP-9000 380 workstation. I'm
pending to receive it. I'd like to know some details about this
machine, or even an URL where I could get some info.
The workstation appears to be not used in anytime.
Thanks. Regards.

I'll be driving cross country in a few days and would like to stop by some
thrift stores where i can find classic computers. Because of the weather I'll
be taking I-10 most of the way, from the east to the west coast. Could anyone
suggest some good spots? hopefully I can find something of interest. Thanks!

I thought Sun cables were 8-pin miniDIN, not 6-pin?

Yes, you could -- but don't use ordinary PS/2 ready-made cables as they
only have 4 or 5 pins connected, and the SGI systems use all six.

Do you think Sun KB cables would work? Actually, I could probably just make
them as they use standard PS2 connectors... What do you think?

Top of my list is a copy of the PC Pocket Ref, neat pocket sized book with
tons of data on PC parts etc. This book has nice lists including most if
not all floppy drives, so I can make a mini-list with just the 3.5" 2.88MB
drives to hunt for.

They are the same -- I misread a diagram in the RX02 manual, which made me
think the M8357 working as an RX28 could do DMA transfers. It can't. Only
the RX211 and RXV21 use RX DMA INTR L.

Interesting. I think where you wrote "H : RX INIT L", you mean "N". H is
a ground, and the RX02 printset clearly shows N as RX INIT L. That agrees
with the tracks I can see on the M7744.
