- Don't know if we are talking about the same problem. I have put many
- 16 MB SIMMs into Sparc10-20 (should not be different to 10-30 in
- plugging in memory) and different third party suppliers gave the
- instruction to put the SIMMs anywhere you want to (of course in one
- of the slots ;-). So what is the problem ? I have done this and all
- machines are working fine...
