Well, they are parity, and 70nS. Most likely in the Model 90, BUT do
these have presence detection?

Go to the anarcho-hacker Peter Wendt's site and genuflect---

Somebody offered me memory modules produced by IBM. As he pulled them out
from a Compaq I would like to know for sure if they would work in my PS/2
machines (Model 55SX, Model 70, Model 80, Model 90).

The sticker on the modules says:
IBM 053 11E1360BA-70 MB 1M X36 P

The chips on the modules are produced by Siemens.

Regards,

Eugen

They probably will, if there are 9 chips all
identical. Some of the Compaq-compatible
chips with a parity chip in the middle, that
is different from the other 8 (but the same
nominal bit size) don't work in some of the
PS/2s. Won't hurt the machine to try.

These are 4Mb parity 70ns chips that should
have the correct/acceptable Presence Detect coding (pins 67,68, and 70 shorted
to pin 72,
pin 69 open), particularly seeing they are made
by IBM.

Have used a lot of Compaq-preconditioned
SIMMs in PS/2s -- most were from the Prolinea
466 series.
