Yep, FPM true parity SIMMs.  To the best of my knowledge,
a PowerMac/Performa 5200 doesn't use parity memory, but
the proof is in the pudding...

Mike knows that board better than I, but I would still
try it.  My Axil 245 (SS5 clone with 72-pin SIMM slots)
has 6 slots but will take 32MB SIMMs in each slot for
192MB total...and of course an LX will take 32MB SIMMs
in the first slot for 128MB total even though the official
number is 96MB max...

Good luck--
