The SIMMs in the IIfx are the same style as LaserWriter SIMMs,
that is, it's a 64-pin connector instead of a 30-pin 
connector. The difference is the speed. The IIfx requires 80ns,
all the LaserWriter SIMMs I've seen are 120ns.

I don't know if they're available from 3rd parties, but I'm sure
they soon will be...
