Really! I had no idea it was an all-or-nothing deal.
There's no question that a local swap would be more practical, of course.
However, a look at http://www.rocktechnology.com/LittleRAM.html wouldn't hurt,
since they clearly say you should make them an offer, and I doubt they'll
refuse to sell a small lot. Parts of this class have been out of the
mainstream for so long that nobody is going to want large quantities of them
so small lots are all they're likely to sell. If you can't get a local deal
of some sort, being in Europe, then you're stuck with some sort of
transcontinental shipment, and these guys are probably in a better position ot
arrange that at nominal cost than most of us.

Yes, if you take all 25000 of them....
I was trying to restore MY SWTPc, not ALL SWTPc's ever made.
And a 10 USD order across the Atlantic is unlikely to be of interest to that
company.
A quick local swap just seems easier to me.
Nevertheless, thanks everybody for their feedback.
