You can still buy 30pin simms (256k, 1mb, 4mb) from JDR. the 4mb parts are
scarce and finding them for less than 10$ is hard. The 1mb parts are like
flies and they can be had for nearly nothing.

And don't forget the 16MB ones... One of the Macintosh catalogs has 30-pin
SIMMs really cheap, but I don't remember which one. MacWarehouse has them
from $20 for 1MB to $160 for 16B. MacMall(which carries
Viking memory) has
2MB for $20 and 16MB for $50(and a 32 pin??? 32MB for $60)

Now that is absurd pricing. Data Memory Systems will
sell you a 30 pin
16 meg simm for $29, not that absurd $160 you mention. 4 meg are $10.
Ouch! A lot of
messages to go through... I should check me mail more often.
Yes, I've noticed that MacWarehouse has some absolutley HORRIBLE prices,
both for hardware and software... I haven't seen 16MB SIMMs going for $30,
but another catalog I have around here that I haven't been able to find yet
has them four around $40... Too bad my Mac IIvx is destroyed(stupid leaking
water pipes...), or I would have a VERY nice machine... I just have a hard
time when looking at a machine with 68MB RAM(max for the IIvx) and an 80MB
hard drive(no reason not to upgrade to one of those $100 4GB drives
though...). Or if you like a nice fast hard drive(say in the 60-80ns
range), go to a 40MB RAM drive :-)
Hmm... How old is the IIvx, anyways? It should be approaching the 10 year
mark any year now :-) Those poor little 68030's... The computer industry
can be so cruel...

The Mac IIvx was introduced on 10-19-92 and discontinued on 10-21-93,
so you've got a while 'til it's officially "classic". It's
probably
a good candidate for a "classic II" model, since it was the last of
the line. The IIci was certainly a dandy, too.
Sometimes jumping the gun on the "classic" category (10 years) is a
good idea, because you can think ahead and grab one while they're
easily available. For example, my main Mac is a PowerBook 540c, near
the end of the '40 laptop models, and I picked up a Quadra 950 (the
premier '40 desktop/server) a couple of days ago for $1 out of a
retailer's junk heap. The Quadra 840AV may be a worthy alternative
for a classic in this line, but in a few years the 540c and the 950
will undoubtedly be "classics", both by definition and by design.

And folks use the 256k ones for keyring fobs.

Are there any adapter cards so 4 1mb simms can be used as a 4mb 30 pin? I
have seen those that can be used as a 72 pin.

Simm Stackers, I have several, even a set of 4 quadstackers (4 simms per
card), but they are worth more than memory since they also will allow
stacking larger simms like 4 or 16 MB.

4mb is pretty common around SoCal swapmeets at $6, sometimes a bit more for
4 or 8 matched sets.
