Identifying 72-pin SIMMs

Typically I just plug the questionable simms into a likely inexpensive
motherboard and see what happens.

Now for a good question, any suggestions on what would make a good set of
machines to use for SIMM testing?

Now I use

30 pin, either a IIsi or a Q950 mac depending on speed of chips.
64 pin goes in a IIfx
72 pin I am wondering about, maybe a late 486 or early Pentium
72 pin Parity no idea
72 pin ECC maybe a PS/2 model 9595

My thought is that some motherboards are very good at detecting the type of
memory etc.
