any idea which macs? the ram is 5v it says so on the motherboard.

btw, i tried installing netbsd on it for now, using the trick where you dd
it to the temporary partition and then you 'boot disk:b netbsd -s' from the
prom. but that does not seem to work, it reccons that it can't find the
file. is this to do which maybe the image i'm writting to /dev/sda2 being
corrupt or something?

thanks

Most PCs use 3.3v (or 3.5v can't remember off hand)
Some older Macintoshes may have RAM you can use in the SS5.

How do these differ from the 168 pin DIMMs used in PCs?
