	Standard 72pin _with_ parity - I've bought PC memory with parity
	and it works fine in my ELC. 4mb or 16mb are fine - I think you
	can mix any combination.

	I could give you a targzipped image you should be able to dd onto
	/dev/rsdXc on your pc532 to at least get it booted single user,
	after that you should be able to use the tape or ppp/slip...
	Just let me know!
