Thanks for the response. I've double checked and the simm is definitely
72 pin.

After taking another look at this module, I'm starting to think it is
probably proprietary. It has 4 Intel E28F640 chips on it, which are 8MB
flash ROMs, and one E28F320, which is a 4MB flash ROM. So guessing from
its function, I think it probably has 32 MB of raw data and 4 MB for
settings.

32 bits for data, 4 bits for parity ???


Interesting idea. I would love it if these are in fact some kind of
standard board, but I've looked around without finding them anywhere.

Why not just determine the pinouts of the edge connector by tracing
the pins back to the chips and compare them with a standard parity
SIMM?
