There is more than 1 type of 72 pin simm out there. EDO and SDRAM (I
think that was the other name) in addition to ecc and non-ecc. They are
not interchangable. Memory slots also often have a size limitation. 4mb,
8mb, etc. Often if too large a simm was installed, the system didn't
recognize any of it.
You're going to have to see what the mobo will accept, then try to match
it up.
If I had realized what an old hardware fanatic you were becoming, I
would have saved you an old Apple Preforma 575 a friend of mine took to
the dump yesterday. It should be installable but at 33Mhz, I didn't
think it was worth the trouble myself.
