I do remember running across some a while back that
were marked "IBM" and had
a pinout that was different enough from the usual kind that they would not
work in most equipment that they were tried in. Is that what those were?
Possiby RS/6000 SIMMS? these are 72-pin (x40? bit) SIMMS with a not-quite-so-deep cut on
the one side.
I found one non-IBM that would tolerate them (had 1/2 of a bank of 16MB ones, a bank on a
RS/6k POWER2 being 16 SIMMS)

You know, I'd wondered about those too, but on an Indigo2 - we've got one in
unknown state with no memory, and I was scratching around for donor SIMMS that
were likely to be parity and not finding anything.
The RS6000 looked promising until I found that the cuts aren't as deep - is
that because they're some weird IBM-only pinout, or is it just because IBM
only wanted people to buy RS6000 memory from authorised places?
Everything else I could find either took non-parity SIMMS, 30-pin SIMMS, or
something totally custom - which was actually a surprise, given how many high
end workstations / servers that we have in the collection.
