The 266Mhz and 333Mhz model AS500 and the 400Mhz and 500Mhz model of

I don't believe the old 5V Mac RAM (8500 era), Sun Sparc 4/5, and
AlphaStation 500 RAM is compatible, but I might be wrong. It would
be interesting to know.

I checked the compaq PROSIC CD yesterday and I'm sure it didn't say anything
odd about the AS500 memory apart from the rules on bank filling; if I get
the chance today I'll make sure. Form factor 168pin dimm, 5v, FPM. The machine
has two banks, each
requires 4 dimms per bank. I have not been able to find any of these
dimms.
Hmmm. IIRC some PowerMacs used that type of memory too, as well as the
Sun SPARCstation 4/5. In contrast: 3.3 V EDO DIMMs are quite common.
