I know of 3 vendors who are advertising RS/6000 SIMMs. I also know that the SIMMs from at at least the first two of these vendors actually work, since I have had some in my machine for testing. #1 Impediment, Inc. 333 Franklin St Duxbury, MA 02332 (617) 837-8877 #2 Clearpoint 1-800-253-2778 #3 Dataram 1-800-822-0071 Don't be surprised if there is a bit of a wait on delivery, since no one is really geared up for production yet. 1 MB, 2 MB, and 4 MB SIMM's should be available in quantity from these guys by January or so (my guess). -- John D.
