60ns by mistake). It just plain wouldn't recognize the RAM.
That may be because 72-pin SIMMs have 4 sense connections that tell the
host the speed and size. 60ns was rare when the 5 came out, and I expect
HP didn't include recognition of that code (possibly because it could also
mean something much slower -- some codes are re-used, though I can't
remember if the 60ns code is). If you changed one link on the SIMM I
expect it would work fine -- so long as the SIMM was FPM not EDO. Most of
the 60ns SIMMs I've seen are EDO, and that certainly won't work in an HP5M.
