I doubt it, since the slots on the memory-boards appear to be 168-bin, 
and every 7012 I've seen (admittedly not many) took 72-pin chips.

So, if you have all these 7012-3xx boxes just lying around, do you have 
any parts[0] you might be willing to part with?  I rescued a 7012-370 
from the dumpster on Monday, and it's a great box aside from the tiny 
discs and almost no memory.


[0] Or whole systems?  AIX is very quickly becoming one of my favorite 
flavors of Unix.  How can you not like an OS with a habit of slapping 
the admin saying "Do it RIGHT or go HOME!"?
