No, the RAM is not standard 72 pin RAM. I've got a 712/80 and it uses HP proprietory RAM only. HP has several different flavours as well, I've also got some 72 pin stuff from an HP C180 that doesn't work in Macs or the 712. You can try it, but in my recent experience, you can't interchange it. Incidentally, I had to convert two 16 MB HP SIMMS into a single 32 MB SIMM recently (good SMT practice!), because I was having a very hard time finding HP 712 RAM. I've got bags of the standard 72 pin stuff...
I've also got a Next Cube II, but I can't get it running. I've never heard of a NeXT version to run on Sun and HP. I've got a stack of Sparc's as well. I'll have to look into that. Do you have any links on that NeXT port?

Hi, just a few days ago, I bought 3 Hewlett Packard Risc Workstations series 9000, HPPA 712/60, all 3 machines equipped with 128mb Ram each (4x32mb, 72 pin). Since I payed only 70 Euro for the whole pile of machines I would say I got them pretty cheap (12x32mb). These HPs seem go pretty cheap on eBay, since they were prodiced in very high numbers. http://www.tkt.cs.tut.fi/computers/info.html (the second pic) I would like to know if this Ram can be expected to work in our 68k Centris and Quadras, the newer ones which have the 72pin Ram slots. CATEGORY: Memory (Dooh! :) MANUFACTURER: HP MODEL: 8Mx36FPM 32MB SIMM (A2575-60001) FEATURES: 32MB with Parity / Fast Page Mode / 72 pin SIMM 60 ns This sounds pretty alright. I am not quite sure since this is workstation memory and those modules are sometimes somewhat special... ? Playing "Trial and Error" seems a bit risky to me. Well, if it does not work and the Ram will not fit into my Quadras then it�s ok though, since I am planning to install Nextstep on one of them, the Risc port of Nextstep that came out for the Sun Sparc and HPPA. My good NeXT Turbo Colorstation with its 33 Mhz Motorola 68040 might be fast, but the HP with its 60 Mhz Risc cpu is somewhat faster... :) So, is there any HP guru here who knows if the HP 9000 memory can run in Quadras? -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
