 	I have been hearing rumors that the SIMMS that go into the IBM PS/2
 machines can also be inserted into the Macs.  I realize that the IBM SIMMS 
 have an extra parity chip, but apparently this is somehow disabled.  IBM list
 price is $995 for 2 Meg and we may be able to get it at the MIT computer 
 center for about $600 for 2Meg.
	
	Has anyone out there tried this, or know if it is possible.
 
	Obviously, we're in dire need of chips.

					Thanks in advance
