  Whats so different about that?  Most IBM compatibles except those
trying to save the cost of one RAM chip use parity.
  The /20, /25, and /33 machines use STANDARD x36 SIMM's (JEDEC standard
I think).  Most other 32 bit PC compatibles use these SIMM's as well.
They save alot of real estate on the mother board.  Instead of upgrading
with four x9 SIMM's at a time this system requires only one SIMM at a time.

Wrong, Wrong, Wrong!  The only ZDS machine to use static column mode
DRAM's was the 0 Wait State Z248 (the goverment version wasnt 0 ws).
All other versions use the more popular Enhanced Page Mode or just
Page Mode DRAM's
