Arrrggghhh I need SIMMS
« on: June 30, 2003, 12:12:23 AM »
The net is becoming more and more useless to search stuff. I'd ilke advice on where to get single sided SIMMs for my Blizzard 1240, on Europe. The bigger the better. But they must fit on a destop A1200. :-o  128mb would be a killer, but since it's probably too expensie I guess I'll have to stick with 64 ones.

Hi. Yeah, but it's damn expensive. I know I'm asking too much, but isn't there some place that sells old stuff very cheap that has those? That's what I'd like to find.
But hey thanks for the suggestion ;-)

Well, I even found 128mb ones, but I don't know if they're compatible with a Blizzard. And they're probably double sided.

Well,  I found cheap 64mb ones, but it took a huge search, and I still don't know if it's compatible.
Also the message the site has about EDO ram is strange

Wow, microdirect rules. Will that fit on a desktop A1200 with a Blizzard 1240?
Anyway, I want more :-o  I want to take this thing to the maximum. I  read somewhere there was people having 128mb on it. Dammit, I'm gonna find it even if I pass here the whole night  :-x  :-D

Does anyone knows if 4k refresh mem modules are fully recognized in Amiga accelerators?
What you're going to bed? NONE get out of here till I find my SIMMS :-x

@Kurt
Well that makes it even harder to find. I thougt EDO simms would work but there wouldn't be any advantage in speed. Think I saw that on the unofiicial A1260 page. The Blizzard manual is completely worthless. It mentions that it will use 32bit simms... (yeah thanks...)

I'd give a try with Mr. Hardware computers by I'm from Europe, so fees (30%) will apply.  
I found VERY cheap Simms in eBay. If one  has enouph patience to make all the questions for the info that's not there (like refresh rate, height of the module, sinlge vs double sided), I think it might be worth it.
