I recall the OP saying they were probably going to be buying used RAM. Normally I think that's a fine idea but in special cases (as with 256MB sodimms for WS) I'd suggest spending a wee bit more and buying from a specialist who can guarantee the RAM _will_work_ in a WS. OWC (macsales.com) comes to mind as a reputable long-time vendor of Mac and PowerBook RAM (and other parts too.)
As many others have explained, the issue revolves around chip density. For specific details on what will work, read Apple's Wallstreet devnote: <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Hardware/Developer_Notes/Macintos h_CPUs-G3/PowerBookG3Series.pdf> There may be a way to easily tell if the sodimm is of the proper density and layout, but I'm not aware of it. Now if the OP is getting their RAM for _really_ cheap or even free, then I guess it's certainly worth just trying out RAM modules for compatibility.
