Yes, parity SIMMs work in a non-parity IIci. It just ignores the extra bit.
There's an empty square of solder pads on the logic board to the right of the SIMM slots as you're looking in over the front of the case. That's where the parity controller would be if it had one. Apparently only some government agencies required the parity option. Basically all it does is stop the computer if there's a parity error calculated in RAM. Wheeee. Computer stops and you lose your work anyway. ===== "Work it harder make it better do it faster makes us stronger. More than ever hour after our work is never over."
