I have a couple of questions concerning the new NeXT's and memory.

1) What is the difference between normal 1MB & 4MB simms and the
interleved version the NeXTstation Color requires? And are there any third
party suppliers of this????
The interleaved memory used by the NeXT color products (both
Nextstation and allegedly nextdimensions) are in a 72pin packaging
and are 80ns or faster.  They come in 256Kb x 32 or 1Mb x 32 for
non-parity  and 256kb x 36, or 1Mb x 36 for parity systems.  There
are third party memory suppliers investigating this memory, but
currently they have had space (side by side) problems fitting
their prototypes into the color NeXTstation.  If I hear something
definitive on the subject I will post the information.

BTW we will not post memory prices and suppliers in the FAQ. However
we will have pointers to such information if it maintained on
some archive.
