Well, after weeks of searching, my relentless pursuit of inexpensive
RAM chips has finally come to a close...After being quoted everywhere from
$50/chip all the way up to $80/chip by my local Amiga dealer, I found a
small company in Calif. with 80ns 1M by 4 static zips for $37.50/chip...
I figured I give y'all the details (to save you the pain of looking)

80 ns 1M by 4 Zips (Static Column)  for $37.50  (4 megs for $300)

The company is called Visionsoft, PO Box 22517, Carmel CA, 93922, phone
is 800-735-2633...

The guys (plural, the orig. guy was a flakey "write down exactly what the
customer says and ask someone intelligent" order person) seemed pretty
cool, only $10 added for COD & Shipping stuff...

Oh well, enough said....I hope this helps someone, I know I was getting
real frustrated with so many companies telling me there was a chip shortage
and that I would never find scrams for less that $60 a piece!

(anyone know when 2.0 is coming out?)
