Same organization maybe, but the same number of connections? Pull that copy of the TI Memory Data Book (or OKI, NEC, Toshiba) off the shelf and look up the x32 and x36 modules. How many connections do they have? The books I've looked at show 72 pins, not 64. > Gerrit Heitsch - Moenchweg 16 - D-7038 Holzgerlingen Jeff Easton Zenith Data Systems // Systems Engineer \X/ easton%zds-oem@caspian.cs.andrews.edu easton@andrews.edu What?
