I paid a visit to the Chip Merchant yesterday - picked up 4
1Mbyte SIMMS ***80ns*** for $69 each. Left with them minutes later.
All 4Mb functioning fine. For $90 I could have had 1Mbyte x9 bits
rather than x8 bits. (I wonder if the x9's will work on the SPARC
- sun is quoting $2000 per 4Mbyte upgrade!!).

I for one think I got good value in todays chip market. It's good to have
the chip shop around the corner all we need now is the fish :-).
