Well... the info I have says that the line reading "0000000F" is "reserved
for Macintosh compatibility" -- which leads me to believe there's something
about those SIMMs that makes 'em non-Mac jobbies...  I can't find any info
on the "00000013", though, just that it "...contains additional failure
information to help track down the problem."  (Note that this is actually
a _hex_ number, not just a "regular" base-10 "13".)

Good luck!
