	The clones I've used were somewhat different to the originals:
	an RDI powerlite - a sun4m portable, a bizarre axil ss5 board
	upgrade board with 72 and 30 pin slots, a DTK classic in a
	sparcstation form factor, all distinct (plus a straight ss2 clone)

	I'd try pairs of matched 60ns or better parity memory.
	(but which slot matches which is more of a challenge :)
