1999 or thereabouts; hopefully MPE/IX is venerable enough to fit in here.
On ebay search for A3131* in Computers.
Right now there is this link (check the wrap!)
http://cgi.ebay.com/HP-A3131-60001-128MB-SERVER-MEMORY-2X64MB-E-CLASS_W0QQi…
which is listed for 5 more days.
Its for a pair of A3131A 64M modules, making 128M memory.
These are the largest (that I know of) memory cards
that you can put into a 918. Up to 8 or them making a total of 512M.
Over the past two years I've watched for these and slowly got my set of 8.
Prices I've seen range from $12 a pair up to over $100 a pair. Right now these are
listed at $20.
This item doesn't list quantity available, but it also comes up in their
ebay store, so I suspect they have more.
(I just received a set that I purchased in the mail today).
Note: when adding memory, I believe, the largest modules need to be installed
first with the smaller ones behind them and Modules always need to be added
in pairs.
You can check your current setup by running sysinfo.prvxl.telesup as seen
below.
