And Doc Opined :-
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?
You are right, Sunguk doesn't suffer fools. He is however very good - one
of the positives is from me - I bought 128mb of Sparc5 Ram (that rare-ish
5volt Dimm stuff) from him a few months back and he made an exception and
shipped internationally.
Question is - does my '030 Cube take parity or non-parity.....eek! I used
to know this...

Is that the same 5V FPM 168pin DIMM as used in early PowerMac's?

ok

They don't go the other way either, I tried that :( hoping to add some ram
to a powermac 8500 a friend had :(
