I've got a U5 that I'd like to get going. But when I turn it on, it loops reporting "RED State Exception". On inspection, it turns out to have no RAM in it. Superficially, it looks as though it takes 168-pin PC RAM. But the pattern of notch positions seems to be unusual; I've gone through mywhole collection of PC RAM, and, while I've found plenty of sticks thatmatch either notch position, I've found none that match both. Am I just unlucky, or is U5-compatible RAM rare?
Not really rare. IIRC you need unbuffered 5v EDO DIMMs with ECC - quite common with UNIX hardware of the day, at least Compaq and IBM used it as well. They look superficially like SDRAM DIMMs but one notch is slightly off so they won't fit.
