>can I plug a 72 PC SIMM in a Sparc Classic??

Depends on the capacity, and the parity status. Classic's and LX's require
4, 16 or 32 meg 72 pin SIMM's which have single-bit parity. I don't think
full-parity SIMM's with work, and no-parity SIMM's (as used in Apple Macs)
will definitely not work at all.

Note that with Classic's and LX's Sun only officially support 4 and 16 meg
SIMM's, but 32 meg SIMM's do work in the first bank, which gives a maximum
RAM capacity of 128 meg.

Regards,

Craig.
