Can Gateway 386 30-pin SIMMs work in IIgs QRAM card?




Last weekend in Albuquerque, I bought a junked Gateway "386" computer, 
made in 1990, to get its power supply.

I salvaged screws, etc, and also four 30-pin SIMMs from its motherboard.

QUESTION:  I have a QRAM (Pacemark) 4 meg RAM card for IIgs, that takes 
one meg SIMMs.  Could these simms from the Gateway 2000 be installed in 
that card?

I am uncertain of compatibility.  The A2/Mac one meg 30-pin SIMMs each 
have 8 cips on the simm, but these from Gateway 386 have NINE chips.

Would anything be damaged if they were installed in QRAM and tried?  I 
dont mind if the QRAM failed to recognize the memory beyond 4 megs, but 
dont want to try if it will zap my ram card or IIgs.

Also, I salvaged three huge INTEL processors from the Gateway.  One says 
386-33; another says 386-DL.

Can I resell these on the IBM net?  To avoid appearing as a fool, what is 
the likely value of the three chip 386 set?  Pins are all in excellent 
condition.

Please reply to the net and also to my e-mail account    buggie@unm.edu
because I can print only from e-mail.

P.S.  I expect to have e-mail almost daily this week.  I whined to the 
dean about e-mail cutoff during the college intersession, and they have 
opened the computer room for 2 hours each day Mon-Thurs.
