Hi Colin, The PowerBook 170 uses a proprietary RAM module (4mb) made specifically for that series. As someone else suggested, your best bet is to join the LEM-swap list, and see if anyone has an extra for sale.
Do you have the Service Manual yet for the 170? If you need the PDF, contact me off-list.
