Exactly. I bought standard PS/2 style SIMMs without parity - however, they have
space on the PCB where you can mount parity chips. So 'all' you have to do is
get parity chips (in my case by removing them from my old SIMMs, since the
Jensen board needs only onbe bit of parity - this is most of the work) and
solder them to the free spece on the new SIMMs.

If your SIMMs do not have empty pads for the parity chips (the 8MB SIMMs in my
PC are that style), you would have to use *lots* of patch wire - I would not
recommend this solution, then.
