I'm only interested in one particular powerbook which uses sodimms anyhow but still I had to be curious about what this almost-local auction could be..
can anyone guess at which powerbooks this random bunch would had been split up toward to?
(I think the viking one looks like perhaps the powerbook 140 series? or did I guess wrong on basis of that particular somewhat familiar pcb sizing?)

Top left is for a 190/5300, a 3400, or a Kanga. Can’t tell which since they look nearly the same.

Bottom left is for a 1400
Bottom right is for a 1400, i think.
The right middle one is for a Duo
And I can’t tell what the top right one is.

I personally never have seen a 1400 ram with vertical chips on it, only horizontal and also the connector on the 1400 is more centered, the one on the photo is more off..
