[Much discussion about ROM replacement distribution deleted]

OK, I've got a 32-bit clean ROM question for you folks.

I have an SE/30, a mcahine whose ROMs are not, of course, 32-bit clean. I would
like them to be so. Now, say a friend has a machine which features a 32-bit 
clean ROM SIMM -- say, a IIci.  He doesn't care if his machine is 32-bit clean,
since he is not a particularly technically-oriented user -- he'll never want
500 Mb of VM, for example.

My question is this: Can these two ROM SIMMs be swapped in order to accomplish
the 32-bit cleanness of the SE/30, or is the ROM SIMM pinout different for
every machine, like the PDS pinout is?
