Title: WTB: 128MB SIMM (72 pin) for Blizzard 1230
Post by: murple on March 07, 2009, 08:09:30 AM
I've been checking ebay periodically for over a year, no luck. Seen some 128MBs that are pretty cheap, but too thick. I'd really like to get this machine up to the max RAM it can handle.

Anybody have one they'd part with, or know of a source?

Oh, nice! Doesn't show on the US ebay. Thanks! I'm a little concerned about the statements that you need to lift your Amiga and use a rubber band to make them fit, so I'll try searching for some others on European ebay... otherwise maybe I'll give it a try.

@murple: dont worry my friend. I have been using 128MB just like that for almost 4 years inside my A1200...never had a single issue...

Go and buy it! You wont regret it!!!

Yeah I bought one. If it isnt a perfect fit, it should at least work until I can find a better one. I don't mind hacking it in with a rubber band, as long as there's no risk of it damaging the hardware by bending it etc.

I've never been entirely comfortable with the idea of securing them with rubber bands. especially given the heat in and around a fast processor, but it isn't like we have a lot of alternatives. I wonder if a hard plastic tie-wrap would be better?

I'm don't think single-sided 128M modules were ever made. Anyone ever found single-sided 64M modules?

I had single-sided 64MB SIMMs in a few Cyberstorms. I had a 1260 Cyberstorm with a 128MB SIMM in it, but I can't remember if it was single-sided or not. I do remember there was no problem fitting it.

It doesn't even come CLOSE to fitting, unless I want to rip the CPU off the accelerator... which would be sort of pointless. I suppose you could also try to jam it in there with a hammer, which would produce the same result of having a worthless accelerator. God dammit.

Anybody want to buy a worthless piece of crap SIMM before I turn it into a keychain or throw it in the trash?

Did you try this SIMM (http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=25&products_id=107)

or maybe one of  These! (http://asb-computer.com/shop/index.php?cPath=27_7&osCsid=88d4b924fd0dd216750204ca4814f58c)

I probibly would have bought from one of these guys.

That second one looks like the exact same SIMM for about 4 times the price. Think I'll pass.

i've got a couple of single sided 64MB simms on my ppc card.
they've even got solder pads for another 64Mb on the back and the chips are very low profile, so i'm sure there are 128Mb versions that'll fit a ppc card in a desktop case somewhere, or even the front simm socket on a blizzard030
card.
i bought a couple of 128Mb simms from amigakit but they were really just a bit too big for the ppc card, and only comfortably fitted the blizzard030/040 in the simm socket on the scsi kit on the back. the lacky band thing will work, but... i dunno...
whatever you're comforatble with i guess :)

If I had the SCSI kit I could just put in another 64MB SIMM (which I have about 20 of in a bag) and I'd be happy with that. 128MB on an A1200 is more than enough for anything I'm doing. Unfortunately I've never seen the SCSI kit for sale.

I have a bag of spare SIMM's (various sizes), about time I sorted them out and put them on ebay I guess. I never seem to get the time to do this sort of thing. I've got an A500 with HD add-on to sell too....mmm,and a CD32. Once I've got them sorted I'll let you all know on this forum.
As for my A1200, I'm never selling her. She was my first. XD

These are ultra thin and fit perfectly in all 72pin accelerators.

Did somebody use one like this already once?
This on 72 pin, EDO, SIMM, 128 MB, 60 ns.
Blizzard cards handle at most 128 MB of memory, 50-70 ns.
There is nothing in the instruction book of Blizzard cards, the buffered or unbuffered from memories.
