Just inherited a pci/33 board -- 21066 @ 166MHz, no cache RAM installed...
(Not the fastest thing on the planet, but it was free...:)

I know this board takes 70ns 72-pin parity RAM -- I'm fresh outta parity
RAM right now unless I steal some from one of the other machines, which
really isn't an option for about three weeks...

I tried to put some non-parity RAM on it just for kicks, and it appears to
be dead -- doesn't do much at all - no PCI video card init, no speaker
beeps, no nuthin'.  Same results as if I had no memory in it at all...

Is this normal??  (Should I go spend the $80 to get some parity RAM for a
board that might not work anyway?)
