We've got a Sparc2 over here running NetBSD w/ 32mb of RAM. We just
recieved a huge pile of old 30pin 80ns, 9chip 1M SIMMs. They were
from some old PCs. 

The Sparc FAQ states: 

>   Notes:          Code name "Calvin". 1M or 4M x 9 30-pin 80ns
>                   SIMMs, in four banks. Case slightly larger and
>                   has more ventilation. (Some models apparently

The original RAM is 8 4mb SIMMs. We popped in 8 1mb SIMMs, and recieved
an error that a bank we just added was 'bad.' We tried a number of
different chips, checked seating,etc.

The question is, can we use PC SIMMS in Sparcs? Or are they different and I
need to buy Sun RAM?
