Thanks to a list member who loaned me a bank of these dimms, I've
determined that they LOOK like U5/U10 dimms, and they do work in the same
Pentium Pro boards that U5/U10 dimms work in (Intel Providence PR440FX,
Micronics Lightning W6Li).

However, they are fast page mode, not EDO/ECC, so they won't work in
U5/U10 systems. I suspect, oddly enough, that the reverse might work--U5
dimms in E3k and the like.

Just thought I'd update everyone on this in case you run across some of
them.
