I was at the Dayton Computer show last weekend (at the Hara Arena, same place
as the Dayton Hamvention) and picked up a handful of, I thought, 8MB parity
SIMMs. They are, but they happen to be 80-pin, not 72-pin.
So... what strange DEC gear uses them? Old AXP boxes? Old MIPS boxes?

Thanks for the tip. I do have one of those, but I didn't look in there
because the case is so tough to open (tight friction fit). I got it for
free w/RAM and an ST1480 disk with some version of Ultrix on it. The
machine also happened to have two frame buffers, but I have no 3w3 cables
(or DEC workstation monitors), so I've only operated it with a serial console.
Don't remember if it's full of RAM or not.

Old MIPS boxes?
Newer MIPS boxes, such as the Personal DECstation. Possibly the oldest AXP
boxes as well.
