I have enough Lunchbox Sparcs (IPC) that use 30 pin simms. Also a few
SparcStation 2's that use them. And my SE/30's and several other Mac
IIs. But I have a relatively large supply of 4 meg 30 pin simms to meet
my needs.
I have one 486 motherboard all mounted on a fixture that I use to test
RAM for size and functionality. I chose that particular board because
it has both 30 and 72 pin sockets. Sad, the 'mere' uses that a '486
motherboard is put to today. I remember when I was the only person I
knew with a '486 system at home.
A few times in the past I've googled the part number on individual chips
on a SIMM to multiply out what the total memory on the SIMM would be.

I'm trying to figure out what I've got. I no longer have a
motherboard to test them, so I have no idea what is what.
Is there any not-to-painless way to figure out
what I've got?
Don't bother, they're totally worthless - I'll take 'em off your hands
for you. :-)
Seriously, I don't have much left that uses 30-pin memory, but I do
have a few - including one board my only reason for keeping is that
it's got lots of ISA slots....
