Okay, this isn't quite classic, yet, but This
is one of the few places that
I know of where someone could help me.
I have a PS/2 L40sx (laptop) that I need RAM for. I need either the
special RAM made for this computer, or standard 4 meg IBM True Parity
SIMMS.
hey, that's a pre-thinkpad thinkpad! lol
you could try asking in comp.sys.ibm.ps2.hardware but everyone wants inflated
prices for parity (ps2) memory. there's a place in north carolina that sells
old ibm stuff. i betcha they'd have what you are looking for.

HI everybody!
But, you can use standard Fast Page Mode (FPM) parity 72pin simms
in those PS/2 series and that L40SX. After modding the presence
lines to proper settings as shown in that webpage:
I have number of machines that requires this mods to ram
sticks so they will work in them and really save a brundle. I pay
about $25 CDN a stick for generic 4mb 70ns types with this specs.
And that are from my local computer reseller.
