Really....I know  that with boards that are ALL thirty pin ram you must use
sets of four and there are usually two banks. Do combo boards use sets of
two for the 30 pin ?

Yes but it is the difference between 70ns which is typical for FPM RAM and
80 which is typical for 30 pin. The extra Ram makes up for the loss in
timing and it is a 486 with a couple of specific jobs so any small
performance hit isn't going to be a big issue. Does anybody know if the
parity issue between the 72 and 30 pin back is a certainty.....it must match?
