128MB SIMMs for amiga 1200 accelerator cards and RiscPC. £14each

If these are the same ones that have been up on ebay recently, then they will not necessarily be suitable for all Blizzard accelerators - many of the SIMMS that I have seen advertised were double-sided and some Blizzards require single-sided, or at least a 'thin' double-sided, and quite small profile. Not a lot of room in an A1200, certainly not as much as in an Acorn RISC PC.

I'll take a look, just not quite yet.

Well, they're not the same, nor from the same seller that I recall as having recently been active.

But I have to say, how did you manage to test them in a 1230-IV? They appear to be double-sided and not small profile. They most certainly will not fit my 1230-IV, I am sure, else I would be sorely tempted.

hi guys,

The kingston simms listed are the "thin double-sided" ones as mentioned above, and fit ok(they do snap into place on my blizzard albeit barely), the HP simms are a bit fatter but still fit using the  elastic band method above.  

I have been using the elastic band method for years on 2 of my amigas with no issues.  I know it looks a bit suspect, but there are no problems caused by it.

If you own a SCSI module for your blizzard 1230, then either of the simms listed will fit straight in.

And finally, if you are lucky enough to own a blizzard PPC, both types of simms should fit straight in with no problem!

Cheers

I don't like the elastic band idea, although I'm sure it works. (The state of my A1200 is nothing to write home about anyway.) The Kingstons do look like they will fit ok. Hmm..

No Buy It Now?

Meega : sorry to say but I have tested double sided Simms on my Blizzard 1230/4 and 1240 and the scsi controller and also the Blizzard PPC and to me it doesn't give any problem

Don't be sorry, Effy. /smile

My 1230-IV is not exactly the same as your 1230-IV. Mine does not have the replaceable battery in a holder, like yours does, but instead it has a rechargeable cell. There might be other small differences.
