Has a 128 Mb EDO module fried my PPC ???

Oh no!

I've been saying on threads for 6 months to avoid EDO, ECC, Parity,
Double Sided and Server SIMMs!

I tried my best but everyone wants to buy the cheapest and get 128mb!

It's not easy to get a good SIMM memory module for Amiga but if you
keep an eye out for the good stuff you'll have peace of mind.

I hope that smell of smoke is temporary, give it time. Keep the Amiga
off for a day and wait and see.

I once smelt smoke from my old 2.5" IBM hard disk but it seemed to
work fine after I left it be for a while.

That may defy logic to electrically minded but let's hope it's a burnt
PSU fuse (from too much power drain - the white 1Amp glass fuse) or
the server SIMM took the brunt of the power surge.

Also, someone on here was talking of using 3.3v Vs 5v SIMMs, I hope it
wasn't you Effy!

:-D

Take a look at this URL:

128Mb FPM still appears to be on sale here as well as many other
websites. If you buy new like this you will have a warranty and a good
description of what you are buying and what machine it was designed
for.

I would reccomend FPM once again over EDO or even server memory. A
Good 64Mb is worth more to me than a cheaper 128Mb server chip or EDO.

It might even be safer to change the SIMM socket on your accelerator
to accept a fatter FPM than to risk slotting in a thin SIMM of death.
