I hear there are two versions of the IIci, one requiring parity memory, and one not. I seem to have the non-parity one (since non-parity work), but am wondering if parity simms will work in this one, and if so, if that is global, or per bank. (this because 30-pins simms with parity are easier to

( A.S. I'm a newbie with Macs. I actually bought some Macs in the last year to put NetBSD on them for a OS compilerfarm. But believe me, I *am* trying to understand MacOS :-) The IIci requires MacOS, so I boot through MacOS to get to BSD. The other Mac is a PMac 4400 running NetBSD. I'd be happy
