Hi
There was a company here in California that had many DIMM and SIMM
boards that they would build different memories for you. They'd just
solder DRAM or whatever to the board you needed.
I had them make a RAM board for my HP IIIsi. I don't recall the name
but it was either in Milpitas or Fremont. Some searching on the web
should turn them up. They were much cheaper than the same RAM
cards from HP.

The Mac memory is generally not ECC, and probably will not work.
SPARCstation 5 DIMMS max out at 32MB, so I'm not sure if it will be any
benefit even if it works (and knowing DIGITAL I'd not be too quick to rule
out something proprietary - look at the number of HP 72-pin memory modules
that look exactly like 36-bit SIMMS (HP/Apollo 400 series, HP 9000 PA-RISC
mid-'90s modules (both incompatible with each other as well)...)
Form factor 168pin dimm, 5v, FPM. The machine has
two banks, each
requires 4 dimms per bank. I have not been able to find any of these
dimms.
Hmmm. IIRC some PowerMacs used that type of memory too, as well as the
Sun SPARCstation 4/5. In contrast: 3.3 V EDO DIMMs are quite common.
