I've just gotten the same thing running, so I'm no "old SGI hand", but ...

The Extreme card is a three-card bundle, I think.  It takes up three of the
four I/O slots, though from the outside you can't tell it, since all the
external IO stuff is on one of the boards.

I think the memory specs are, basically, 4 SIMMs per bank, bank 0 closest to
the front, 60 or 70 NS real parity FPM SIMMs, max 32 MB per SIMM.  Izzat
what you have in there?
