     I had about fifteen or twenty 72-pin EDO simms lying around which
turned out to include about five sets of two (as you know this format
was commonly installed in banks of two).  I googled the numbers on
the PCB of a few of them and they were all 5v.  Too bad!  :)

     Looks like I'll have to fork out $60 after all.
