Also, any PC SIMMs (9-chip type) that are fast enoughwill work, as the Mac
motherboard wiring ignores the 9th (parity) bit.  All my IIcx/IIci machines
are populated with PC SIMMs and they work perfectly.  The advantage is that
they're often far cheaper than Mac SIMMs, because zillions more were made.
