I'm not sure what the cms-ultra2-128 is, but I presume it's a 128 meg RAM
module? 

If yes, then you are probably going to find that it won't work since Sparc
20's will only support 16, 32 and 64 meg SIMM's.

Hmm, I don't know of one. The last bootROM revision for the 20's was 2.25,
and I have a downloadable image of it available from my bootROM archive at:

The correct insertion order is as follows:

 [ edge connectors ]

  SIMM 0
  SIMM 2
  SIMM 5
  SIMM 3
  SIMM 6
  SIMM 1
  SIMM 7 (or VSIMM 0)
  SIMM 4 (or VSIMM 1)

 [ Sbus/Mbus connectors ]

Craig.
