Based on my findings, I've yet to run into a Mac that can't use EDO. Some 
require EDO, but so far, all the ones I've played with that are supposed 
to use FPM, work just fine with EDO instead. (note: I have never upgraded 
an 8100, so for all I know, that could be the one model that really does 
care).

Again, this is based on 72 pin SIMMs. It seems that Apple's 72 pin SIMM 
requirements were pretty loose compared to their other memory 
requirements.
