I've got a Classic Technology Speed 286 in a compaq portable that keeps giving parity error stops when it's enabled. (Can't get things to boot to test, and it's got it's own bios, so I don't think I can throw a diag rom in there.)
The board had 4 256mb sipps soldered on the board that I've removed.
I'm coming up blank with a datasheet for the chips on the original sipps. They are Hitachi 50256CP15M.
The new (to me sipps) I got in have 2 MT4C256DJ-7 s and a AAA2800J-06 chips, so they have parity, but I don't know if fast page ram is compatible.
I also have the option of putting simm sockets on the board instead of the soldered in sipps, but that requires moving some components to the back of the board, and doesn't keep the original look. (r12 is on the back currently while I was testing the fit.)
