Bzzzt! Not so. As was typical for workstations of that vintage, it
seems as if every model produced by SGI used a different form of
proprietary memory.
That's not to say they aren't SIMMs, though admittedly in context "uses
SIMMs" is awful close to "uses SIMMs of some very common type".
Yup. I realized after posting that message that 'SIMM' can simply be
viewed a general form-factor. However, more commonly it's applied to the
30pin or 72pin PeeCee variety.
I've seen SIMM adapters that allow you to stack multiple 30pin modules on
a a 72pin socket. Did anyone ever make a converter for any workstations
that would support using garden variety memory in, e.g. an older Iris?

Its my understanding that it uses SIMMS.
