I have some 16MB IBM "40-bit" memory modules out of an RS/6000 (the
7012/370 or 7030/3CT compatible type). Roy's looking for some ECC
SIMMS for a RAID controller. Does anyone know if these are standard
ECC or proprietary? I know they are a different pinout than 32 or 36-
bit 72-pin SIMMs.
I've heard proprietary, same as the HP-9000 memory modules (very hard
to believe looking at the ones that go in my C180), and standard ECC
SIMMS - and they can't all be right.

The RAID card is a DPT PM3334UW, which the book tells me will accept ECC
parts. I have 4 non-parity 16s in there now, but...

I wouldn't mind finding some sort of a cabinet that'll accept a bunch of
drives, either, if somebody has a lead on one. Or 68-wire SCSI cables that
have a lot of connectors on them, which don't seem too common either...

Nope. Completely incompatible with anything other than the machine they
came from, as well as a few others. I have full compatibility
specifications, if you need them.
