Nope, those are 16 MB Non-parity.
I've dealt with Sunguk many times and he's a stand up guy, the 1 time I
got a bad Dimm from him for my sp[arc ultra he refunded the $ to me with no
problems.

Of course, 4900 feedbacks is alot too. From the picture, the simms look
like 70ns parity ram, but since the picture is off center, and he states
they are 80ns, the only way to know for sure would be to ask him. 70ns
parity modules could be used in many computers besides a Mac, but 60ns
would be much better for mid to late 486 and early pentium PC type boards.

Are you sure? Count the chips and count the pins in the picture. Based on
that, they look like 70ns parity modules. Of course, that could be a pic
of some other simms, and not the ones up for sale.

Yeah, I read through the negatives, and they all had the same flavor.
Mostly it seems Mr. Sunguk doesn't babysit. I wasn't so worried that I
refrained from buying. I wouldn't try it on most PC's though. Every PC
I've had that took 30-pin SIMMs wanted parity. Was that the norm, or my
luck?
