HI everybody!
But, you can use standard Fast Page Mode (FPM) parity 72pin simms
in those PS/2 series and that L40SX. After modding the presence
lines to proper settings as shown in that webpage:
I have number of machines that requires this mods to ram
sticks so they will work in them and really save a brundle. I pay
about $25 CDN a stick for generic 4mb 70ns types with this specs.
And that are from my local computer reseller.
