I've seen them quite a bit in machines from Purdue, mostly in SS5's.
SS20's are expensive enough that I'm not sure why someone would use that
drive...
The sticker on the front suggests that this box left a university
surplus for $25 some time ago... I'm sure the innards were wonked
around with a bit, especially as there were only 2 DIMMs in it (48MB
total).
I think there
was some recent list traffic about using an SS20 as,
essentially, an X terminal with that optional internal frame buffer...
I think I've got some VSIMM's laying around somewhere. Probably next to
my E4000's. :)
What do VSIMMs go for these days?
