Then there is the adapter that I have in my Amiga
3000, it plugged in where
the ZIP Chips would go, and let me use standard 72-pin SIMM's (at least I
think they're 72-pin, might be 30-pin). It was cheaper than trying to get
16MB of ZIP Chips.
I raided a bunch of MCA graphics adapters (XGA, maybe?) for the ZIPs
on one of my RTG boards.
Before anybody gets their trousers twisted, some nit had apparently
used the MCA cards for solderi practice. I bought a half-dozen of them
for a buck.
Of course I really wish I had the Zorro 3 board a
coworker bought about the
same time, it lets him put 128MB in his Amiga 3000 (except as far as I know,
it's still sitting new in the box).
Well, since he obviously has no concept of its worth, you should go
steal it!
