I do know that it uses 'standard' 72-pin

don't know is: how finicky is the machine? Will just any Parity memory
work, or is it limited to certain manufacturers? I have a supplier that
has used 32M Parity 72-pin FPM memory for $6/stick -- a decent price
comparatively - I've seen it at $30+ per stick, which would make a
memory upgrade cost more than the machine itself...
There are a bunch of different 3000/300 models. The 3000/300X and
the 3000/300 both take commodity 36-bit parity SIMMs. My 3k/300X is
running RAM from a Mac, from a DEC "Jensen", and from Goodwill.
The best thumbnail reference directory I've found are on the
DEC/Linux pages:
