Not meaning to pick nits, but a rather recent message on this list pointed
out that the Sparcbook 3G series 64Mb SIMMs are nonstandard, due to the
32Mb SIMM limitation of the Sparcbook memory controller.  Apparently, the
SIMM slots are wired slightly differently, such that with 32Mb or less
SIMMs they function in a standard way, but the aforementioned 64Mb SIMM is
wired as two 32Mb SIMMs.
