Thanks, that was what was holding me up from committing to purchase
and it seems I was right to do so as this machine's buss runs
at 66 :-(
As to documentation in the manual for an H.P., ha.
Guess I'll snag up some cheap EDO from Ebay for the NEC and see what I
can get going here while waiting for some of this rather unobtainium
SDRAM to make an appearance.
I did download the DIMM SDRAM specification revision 1.0
as a PDF to see what I may be able to squeeze into the H.P.
but the darned timing spec's on the PC100 and PC133 seem to be awfully
picky about whatn they'll accept and still present valid data.
