Summary: anyone seen 1Meg SIMMs?

Has anyone seen ANY 1Meg SIMMs?  Oki is selling 256K ones for around double
the chip price, but said a month ago that they didn't have 1Meg yet.

MacMemory has a real screwball scheme of 256K chips wired up to look like
1Meg modules; they also claim that you need a daugther board, which DOES NOT
sound reasonable.

The 2 Meg MacMemory kits go for 475 or so, I hear, the 2.5 Meg are more.
I'd really like to upgrade my Mac+ memory, but not with some baling-wire-and-
spit contraption...
