72 pin SIMMs could be an issue. It is probably best to stick with chip RAM
and 30 pin SIMMs since they were both common in the past, and the machines
that they were used in were dragged out of service years ago. With the 72
pin variety, you are still fighting with various 486/Pentium and Macintosh
users for the memory -- so the supply isn't really what it should be.
