[OT] need 32MB and 64 MB 72-pin SIMMS

2008-03-24 Thread Douglas A. Tutty
Hello all,

Me with my low-MHz project.

I have been given a Tyan dual-P-133 motherboard with CPUs but it doesn't
have much memory.  The board is capable of taking 8 x 64 MB (standard,
EDO, or ECC) 72-pin SIMMS, installed in pairs.

I also have my IBM 486DX4-100 that needs 4 x 32 MB standard (preferably
ECC) 72-pin SIMMS to max out its memory.

I wonder if anyone knows of a source for such old memory.  I'm near
Kingston, Ontario, Canada.

Thanks,

Doug.

Hi Ioan,

This message bounced back due to a mail-loop.  I'll save the error
message I received if you give me a different email to send it to.

Thanks,

Doug.
