I am looking for a peculiar 1Mb SIMM for a Philips model P 3302 '386 PC.

The part is very similar to the 72 pin SIMM used in some PS/2s only this 
one only has 68 pins.  These SIMMs have a 0.05 inch pin spacing.

The PS/2 SIMMs are 256k X 36 bit, ie. double word plus parity on each byte.  
The Philips SIMMs we need are 256k X 32 bit, ie. no parity.  This would 
account for the lack of pins.  Otherwise the two parts look identical.

Does anybody know anything about these, I'm sure they are a standard part 
but Philips locally are charging a ridiculous price for them given today's 
RAM prices.
