Didn't know which type, so I pulled a pair of known good DIMMs from the BG3-DT and tried them:
NOT the correct type I'd imagine as a new error code
"KILL ME! KILL ME!" occurred after only about one second or so.
Switched back to the original DIMM and got the same
"KILL ME!" error code after approx ten seconds. So this one appears to pass memory test, which shouldn't take anywhere near that long to complete?
I thought I'd read that Apple moved to the same memory type as the parallel BeigeG3 project's new architecture as well. But that doesn't make much sense to me now that I think about it. If PEx/PowerExpress/9700 was an update of the 9600's architecture, it stands to reason that it would employ the x600 series memory setup, no?
Here's a screenshot from the
2017 PowerExpress thread @captainserial posted about his booting PEx:
From the 9600 ServiceSource:
PM 9600 series 200MHz to 350MHz -
__32 MB standard; expandable to 768 MB
__Uses 168-pin, 64-bit, 70 ns or faster EDO or FPM DRAM DIMMs
Dunno what the memory controller comparison is between 9600/9700, but if it's different my guess would that it addresses at least twice the capacity of the 9600 loadout. According to LEM, Apple said the 9600 should support 128MB DIMMs, but that it was an untested config.
BTW,
@captainserial uploaded his ROM dump:
TriPEx.ROM.zip
It feels good to be back at this project again, thanks trag!
