Can anyone tell me what I need for memory in a SPARC-5?

I know there are different versions of the S-5 - here is the info from the
label on the bottom:
Model number: 544, Service code; 55, PN: 600-3853-01 SN: 546F0085
The board has 8 168-pin DIMM sockets at the front lefthand side of the
board (looking from top/front), and running parallel to the front of
the machine.
Physically, PC 168-pin DIMMS can "almost fit", but the notches are just
slightly in the wrong place - I have no idea if they are electrically
compatible or not (I'd guess not - I tried this just for physical
comparison only).

Dave
