<< I believe the 7200 is the ONLY PCI Mac which will be damaged by EDO; all others will accept either EDO or FPM. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what I've read repeatedly on the lists. >> IIRC, the Apple Network Servers (500 and 700 series; the 500 is 132 MHz, the 700 is 150 or 200 MHz), both of which are loosely based on the 9500 motherboard, will only accept FPM DIMMs. In the case of the ANSes, parity is specifically supported, and Apple provided IBM-manufactured FPM DIMMs with parity with these ANSes (usually 48 MB as two matched 16 MB DIMMs and two matched 8 MB DIMMs). However, non-parity DIMMs of certain types would also work, but parity was turned off for all DIMMs if just one non-parity DIMM was installed. The ANSes will not accept most 128 MB DIMMs, but certain 128 MB DIMMs will work and will pass the POST (power-on system test). All other 128 MB DIMMs will fail at least one test section which is included on the ANS diagnostic diskette. Velocity Upgrades and OWC's $18.95 to $29.95 128 MB DIMMs definitely will not work in ANSes.
