Anyone got one they're looking to get rid
of/sell/trade? My venerable
IIfx's RAM has gone bad and rather than pay stupid prices for 64-pin
simms (which are just going to be harder and harder to find) I'd like to
get something that takes standard stuff. And while I'm doing that I
might as well get something large and heavy :).
Thanks!

30 pin SIMMs in the 16 MB capacity aren't exactly falling off of trees
these days, either. :-) Of course, if you're happy with the smaller
capacities, then they almost are. And the Q9xx does have 16 SIMM
sockets...
I've been making 16MB SIMMs for the IIfx, so one could argue that they are
not getting more rare, unless they are being lost by the population faster
than I am making them. However, the prices may be stupid. I mainly sold
them on Ebay and the prices for a set of four ranged from under $30 to
over $250 with somewhere in the $120 - $150 range being typical.
Right now I have components for several more sets, but have been
overwhelmed with other priorities and have not assembled any more sets.
