I do not think Telebit does anything to their memory to make it special.
In fact - telebit does not even make the memory - they just OEM it from
somebody else and place the Telebit sticker on it.

HOWEVER - I would order the RAM from Telebit if I were going to do an
upgrade - the cost is not much more than anywhere else.

You can grab just about any 3 SIMMs (4 MB each with parity) making sure
they are the same brand and type and install it.

I have a Telebit 4MB SIMM module (72 Pin) and it has a sticker on it
     14698-01
     361007-S51T12JJ

The SIMM has 12 chips on it (Heck mabey it is ECC also ??)
