Regular readers will recall my problems with Chip Merchant 4MBx8
SIMMs.  I am pleased to report that things have been straightened
out and their promptly-delivered replacements work just fine.  Oh
yeah, 20MB is noticeably better than 16MB!!!


Recap:


Chip Merchant:

1MBx8 80ns [Mitsubishi] SIMMs known to work in cubes.
4MBx8 80ns [Samsung] horizontally-mounted SIMMs *did not* work in slabs.
4MBx8 80ns [Samsung] vertically-mounted ("low profile") SIMMs *did* work.
4MBx9 80ns [Samsung] horizontally-mounted SIMMs *did* work.


Technology Works:

4MBx8 80ns "low profile" SIMMs known to work in cubes and slabs.

*** TW's "official" prices are considerably higher than Chip
Merchant's.  However, if you tell their sales weasels what their
competitors are asking, they'll negotiate.
