That might be unnecessary. The 1Mx9 use the same pinout as the 1Mx8, it's just that the parity bit signals aren't used on the 1Mx8. It might be even cheaper since there's a larger market for 1Mx9 SIMMs. Regards, -- Michael van Elst UUCP: universe!local-cluster!milky-way!sol!earth!uunet!unido!mpirbn!p554mve Internet: p554mve@mpirbn.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de "A potential Snark may lurk in every tree."
