Nope. It doesn't have the parity chip on the side of the SIMM slots opposite the drives. If you could lay hands on an AT power supply, 386SX motherboard (not the 386DX), a cheapo ISA videocard and monitor, then you'd have a simple testbed to check out the SIMMs a pair at a time. That works because the 386SX only has a 16 bit memory bus. If you could dig up a 286 with SIMM slots (pretty rare and can't be an IBM PS/2 cuz they use special RAM) you could test them one at a time. Any Mac that'll take 30 pin SIMMs in pairs instead of requiring groups of four? (The classic won't do because it won't take anything bigger than 1meg on the expansion card.) ===== "Truth is, after all, a stronger edifice than a lie.
