AFAIK, the 712 uses common 486 (simm-72) memory
No. The HP9000/7xx SIMMs look, smell, taste like PeeCee RAM, but they are
different. You need the very special, propriatary HP9000 SIMMs for that
machine.
Sounds like I'll be disappointed when my eBay purchase shows up.
I was just looking at one of my 712/60's to see what the part number
is on the DRAM modules. It is A2575-60001 on the 32MB modules.
If you haven't already found a cheaper source, here's the cheapest I
found on a quick look today:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/150636102804
HP A2575-60001 2x32MB SIMM Memory HP9000 E35
P/N: A2575-60001
Two (2) 32MB ECC 72-pin Simms 4K refresh

Or max out your 712/60 with 128MB for less than $40.
