4350.0. "MS44-CA in a PC" by NYOSS1::MONASCH (I wrote the DECmate games) Fri Feb 21 1997 16:29

    I just came into possession of some MS44-CA SIMMS.  Can these be used
    in a 'standard' PC?
    
    Regards,

	I do not think so. If you compare them to a PC simm you will notice they are a little larger and will not even fit into a socket. they are equivalent to a parity simm (36 bits wide) but I think that is as close as it gets. Unless they are different than the ones we used in the small vaxes. The newest vax (catamount) MV3100-88,98 VAX 4000-108 actually uses PC simms to reduce cost, but these are not MS44s. Harold
