Thanks for the reply. I called The Chip Merchant and they quoted
me a price of $72.00/SIMM for orders submitted by PO. (I can only
purchase these chips on PO. How did you order them Eric?) I also called
Clearpoint who manufacture chips for the Mac. They claim people are
using their chips in the NeXT without problems. Clearpoint will sell
their chips for $68.00/SIMM after applying a discount they offer
the the City University of New York. Is anyone using the Clearpoint
SIMMs?
