  This all sounds very like what I've seen.

  I never bother with common. :)
  Seriously, I saw the sets I'm thinking of in one of 2 places. One
shop has provided memory for my PS/2s (with MCA RAM board) DECstation
3100 and my vs4000/60, the other such niceties as 32M sticks for a SS5,
8M ??? for my HP 9000/735, and 64M modules for an HP B132. If I can get
a good look at what you need, I'll end up in both shops within a week or
2 anyway. Model/Part numbers won't help as much as pictures.
