Hi Marc, everyone,

The Sparc IPX (and it's close family) need one bit parity simms: That
is, 33 bits 72 pins.
However, they work just fine with 'regular' 4 bit parity simms. I used
those in my SLC and ELC and now in my IPX without any problems. The three
extra parity bits don't seem to bother this box at all (uptimes >100days).
I actually have a mixed configuration of 33 and 36 bits simms in here.

And 64MB is indeed the maximum memory for an IPX.

Happy hacking.
Paul.
