The modules I removed from this box labeled SPARCServer1000 have 68
pins. A 72-pin SIMM will not fit in the slot; it's too long. The working
SIMMs have "68" stamped on them where a 72-pin SIMM has "72" stamped on
it. I really did check before I asked. ;)

Were there maybe two types of motherboards? Is a SPARCServer1000
different from a SPARCStation1000??
