The difference is: the PS ROM card and an additional RAM card or a PS  
ROM card with integral RAM. The PS feature came both ways.

RAM for HP printers is standard RAM, but with parity. Also, it has to  
be fast RAM, 60 ns, IIRC.

The RAM is easy to find as it is standard PC RAM from back in the 386  
and 486 days, when every PC supported parity, but the parity could be  
turned off in many PCs.

In an HP printer, parity may not be turned off, so the RAM sticks  
have to be 36 bits, not 32 bits.
