I have an AS500/500 on the bench and a handful of

PM8500 in the drawer. I'll pop the top off the Alpha later and compare.
If they're compatible, that'd be *way* too easy.
OK, I have PROSIC in front of me and it says the memory is made up of 2
banks of (4x72) 8 byte DIMMS, I'm wondering if the reason people think it's
different is because you need 4 DIMMs to make up each bank? The part numbers
of MSP01-F* all resolve to AS500 memory, but the parts breakdown also
mentions 54-24340-BA which is a single 16mb module. Therefore if you can get
4 matching 128mb (4x72) 8 byte DIMMs you should be able to make up a single
MSP01-FE.
I don't have an AS500 to test, but I'll also fire up the OARS Archive CD and
if it's different I'll post its results.
