[Info-vax] DECserver 90TL (DSRVE-M) memory (found, sort of)

   Just for the record, ...

   I noticed today that one of the DECserver 90TL units which
I use for serial console access had vanished from the LAN.  A
little part substitution from a donor unit revealed that the
(72-pin, 1MB) SIMM was bad:

      MS40-WA A01
      SAMSUNG
      KMM536256BG-8

   I felt bad about stealing one from an otherwise good
spare unit, so I looked through the old-memory pile, and
found a similar-looking (4MB) SIMM:

      TOSHIBA
      THM362500ASG-80

which also worked.  So, the next time your only-30-year-old
junk suffers from similar part-quality problems, there may be
one more option lying around than you might have thought.
