If it is any comfort, I am current running my Mac SE/30 with 4 meg of SIMMs from Technology Works (1 meg X 8) and 4 meg of SIMMs (1 meg X 9) that were borrowed from a Convergent Technologies 6000-series UNIX machine.  The latter is basically a big 80386 PC that Unisys sells as one of it's mid-range UNIX platforms.
  The SIMMs work great, and the extra memory is a wonderful addition.
