Don't forget there's also a slot for a RAM expansion for the m56k DSP.
Maybe you're talking about that? It took a specially designed SRAM
memory module. One of my NeXT's has it, since I wanted to have as much
DSP RAM as possible for MusicKit apps....

Other than that, AFAIK most non-turbo systems have 30-pin memory, and
all the turbo's have 72-pin SIMMs. I'm not sure if there are some
transition systems that don't fall into this pattern. At least it
holds for all my machines.
