They need to be true parity, not "logic" parity. In other word REAL 36 bit
SIMMs. Also, look at the sockets in your machine. If the are silver colored
leads use "tin lead" SIMMs, if gold, then gold, of course. EDO will not
work, they must be Fast Page Mode.
Quality is quite important. Don't go for cheapies. In general SIMMs with
Samsung or Toshiba chips are often very good. Stay away from Hyundai and
NEC if you intend to run Digital UNIX.
