Title: Memory find at some recycling centre.
Post by: Tomas on May 20, 2007, 03:13:43 PM
I found some old memory sticks that i believe was picked out of some digital server. The interesting part is that they each have 64megs of ram, which is even alot by modern standard. These certainly must be rather rare? Not only did i find one single sim, but it was 9 all of which are 64megs each. Are these compitable with a amiga accelerator?

Not for any A3000 or A4000 accelerators (that I know of).  It might work in the BlizzardPPC or the 1260.

I doubt they are rare. Are they 72 pin SIMMS or?  They might work with some Amiga accelerators depending upon exactly what they are. Post a picture of them and someone here will surely identify them. It seems to me that 72 pin SIMMS show up on ebay up to 128 megs for use with the Blizzard, ect all the time.

It is indeed the 72pins type. I just recall when i were looking for ram for my box and it seemed hard to find anything higher than 32megs. Which 1200 accelerators would these be useful for?

Technically SIMMs up to 128 MB work in Blizzard 1230 IV, 1240, 1260 and BlizzardPPC plus the SCSI-Kit IV.
Mechanically they have to be singlesided for the 1260 and for one slot  of the BlizzardPPC.

Not sure, as i dont have them here right now. I highly doubt they are single sided though

Single or double sided should work fine in most DKB 1200 accelerators too. Cobra will take up to 128Mb SIMM
