  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. 
The Mac memory is generally not ECC, and probably will not work. 
SPARCstation 5 DIMMS max out at 32MB, so I'm not sure if it will be any 
benefit even if it works (and knowing DIGITAL I'd not be too quick to 
rule out something proprietary - look at the number of HP 72-pin memory 
modules that look exactly like 36-bit SIMMS (HP/Apollo 400 series, HP 
9000 PA-RISC mid-'90s modules (both incompatible with each other as 
well)...)
