I'm looking for detailed module specs for the vaxstation 4000, and
probably for the decstation 5000/1xx.
I have a pile of 32M modules that my supplier thought work in a vs4k,
but they don't. While I can't find any references to the labeling,
y'alls' best guess seems to be that they are ram for a decstation
5000/1xx. I'd like to find out if the difference is something that can
be modified, to make them compatible with the VAX. Failing that, if I
can verify that they really are DS modules, I can sell them.
The SIMMs themselves are from several different lots, but the
common label, which looks like a DEC/Compaq P/N to me, is 33522947-001.
Lastly, what's a 32M SIMM worth? I've got a little over $25 each in
these. If they're worth that, I'll convert or sell them, if not I'll
return them as misrepresented.

My guess is that if they were actually VS4000 SIMMs, they'd easily be worth
$25. However, as DS5000 SIMMs, my guess is they're virtually worthless. I
might be way off here, this is basically my personal opinion. I'd say
return them.

Dont know about the VS4000 but DS5000/1xx/xx modules only come in two
sizes, 2M and 8M. DS5000/2XX modules come in 32M size but they are not
SIMMS (they are large and have .1" female headers)

And VAXstation 4000-90 simms are 4M & 16M. Other 4k machines may take
others-- my track record with machines I don't own isn't so good lately so
I'll refrain from making statements regarding them...
