The majority consensus was that these 4MB SIMMs could be used in PCs and Macs,
although some people reported being unsuccessful with such a transplant.
I tried it in on of our PCs (a Compaq 486) and was successful. The only
proviso was that I had to remove the SIMM that was currently in the machine
otherwise the additional SIMMs were not recognized when booting.
