Has anybody ever found out just what a GVP SIMM-32 really is?? Did GVP actually build their own SIMM boards, or were they some type of re-branded Micron SIMM ? (Micron actually used to make Amiga products - yes THAT Micron!)

Pity the people who bought them new:

REVIEW: GVP A530 Turbo accelerator and hard drive
...I have also added ... a GVP 4 meg SIMM-32 which is listed at $299, though I paid $209 ($220 with shipping and COD)...

I have a shrinkwrapped-new-in-the-box *1* meg SIMM-32 from a store that went under that still has a US$199 price sticker!

And thaks Rkauer for the hack tip - I like my hardware ugly  :-D

I just ran across two 68 pin SIMMs (non-GVP) that actually work fine on my G-Force 040! They are only 4Mb SIMMs, but better than nothing. I should mention that this two SIMMs out of about 100 that I tried!

I'm impressed you are gutsy enought to plug in 100 different  ramdom old parts into a GVP accelerator and turn it on!  :-o
