- You are wrong.
- I happen to have 20 IBM PS/2's and I can tell you the Model 50's, 55's, 60's,
- 65's and the Model 70 E61's use one type of SIMM, the Model 70 A21 another type,
- and the Model 80's yet another type (actually there are two types for the Model
- 80's, the old type and the new type). The list goes on, Model 57's, Model
- 90's, Model 30's, etc.

- It's terrible, it's IBM.
