The cheapest supplier I found at the Mac World Expo in Boston was an outfit
called "Hard & Soft, Inc."  They had a show special going on: $497 (US) for
a pair of 1 Megabytes SIMM's.  One pair will upgrade a Plus or SE to 2.5 Meg,
two pairs upgrade a Mac II to 5 Meg.  These were claimed to be the 120 or
100ns types (suitable for the Mac II).  I think I heard them say that the
price was going up to around $560 after August 21.  Well, I ordered up a
mess of their stuff for the Macs in my lab.  You can bet that I'll post a
flame if their stuff turns out to be junk.

Address/phone for these folks:

Hard & Soft, Inc., 2005 West Cypress Creek Rd., Fort Lauderdale, FL 33309
(305) 772-0430

At the Expo they were also introducing an internal RLL SCSI hard disk for
Mac II called "The Silver Server."  I hope they do better QC on their
hardware then they do on their jokes...
