Glad to oblige - I would like to know more about this too.
Please note, though, that I said MAY (indicating speculative info) not WILL
(indicating definite knowlege.)

reported (on aimed-talk@aimed.org ) having recieved from Chip Merchant 64
Meg of memory for his 8500 that he reports have fried his mother board. I
don't know whether parity chips are available in the type of memory used in
the 8500, but can you think of any OTHER way a memory set could fry a
board? I don't think it is possible to install them backwards.I can send
you a copy of his complete report if you like.
