I'm not sure if the cost of using parity memory on a NeXT was
ever resolved.  I just submitted a question to the local campus NeXT
representative and was informed that memory accesses to parity
memory (on a NeXT) cost an extra cycle (over that required by
non-parity memory).  If this issue is important to you, you should
probably confirm (or hopefully invalidate) this news with NeXT before
purchasing parity memory.
