Crap. :-(

There is only the one slot. This particular system would only accept EDO
before, but it's a 430TX chipset which should work with either. I tried both
EDO and SDRAM SODIMMs without success.
Time to unsolder the part. I think I'm going to install a DIP socket and
officially declare this particular motherboard my sacrificial system. :-)
