Hi,
9595 uses either parity or ECC simms. ps2 memory has presence detect features
as well so the PS2 can query the type of memory installed.

I'm going to guess that it probably
doesn't want just simple
72-pin SIMMs. I believe you need True Parity 72-pin SIMMs for
this beasty.
Actually, I forgot about the SIMMs in my PS/2 9595....I wonder if those
would work (I've not had much success trying them in non-PS/2 machines)?
BTW I wasn't aware that there were 72-pin SIMMs that didn't provide true
parity. I'd always assumed this was a cost cutting phenomenon limited to
30-pin SIMMs? :-(
