When we got our Sun 3/60's I bought 130 MB of 1 MB Simms.  Sun wanted $500
per MB for Toshiba SIMMS.  The exact same Toshiba SIMMS could be bought
from Toshiba for $145/MB.

I found that buying SIMMS from Toshiba or Hitachi is the best way to go.
The prices are significantly lower than buying from a third party like
Clearpoint.
