They don't fit because they aren't supposed to fit - SPARC-5 DIMMs are
5V, PC DIMMs are 3.3V.
I picked up some 32MB SPARC5 DIMMs a few years ago on eBay for, ISTR, $10
each. They won't be as cheap as PC memory because they are not as common.
Your choices are 32MB or 8MB. A full boat is 256MB.
I don't recall the Sun 501-xxxx numbers, but you should be able to
Google for them.
