Alpha hardware

[Smith, Todd]

I have a Multia/UDB VX40 that takes 72pin FPM 36bit True Parity SIMM
modules and I have wanted to use 128MB modules but the one that I tried
didn't work.  

Does anyone know if a 128MB module would work?  Has anyone with one the
machines mentioned that use True Parity FPM RAM ever tried a 128MB
module or know why it doesn't work?

Todd

As I said: I'm not sure if the DEC3000 uses PS/2 memory. I know that
the Noname/AXPpci33 and the Multia/UDB use them (72pin FPM w/ true
parity). If the DEC3000 uses the same memory, yes, then he can use Indy
memory. If not and it's something proprietary (which wouldn't surprise
me), he's a bit out of luck.
