We just received a NeXTstation w/Seagate ST1480 400MB drive.
It has a *different* ROM version than the NextStation I was
testing 4MB SIMMs in (2.2 (v63) vs. 2.1 (v59)).  The newer
ROM has a new NVRAM preference:

  enable parity checking if parity memory is present?

Why do I have this sick feeling we just returned a whole bunch of
supposedly "bad" memory... when the problem might really be buggy
NeXT firmware?  Grr!!!!
