Last of its kind .... an A3000 resource

[AMC258]

I have found ZIP chips in many unlikely places.  Of course, some bridgeboards and A2000 accelerators have them.  But, I did find them in some peecies, and, some odd Un*x workstations.
I had aquired a large stash of them, and at that time the only thing I had that needed them was my A3000UX.  I fully populated it, and then sold all the rest of the ZIPs to a guy who just ended up bending all the pins :pissed:

I already typed this once.  Let's see if XOOPS rejects it again.

I once spent a whole Saturday desoldering ZIPs from a couple of dead bridgeboards.  What else are you going to do with them?

Let's say you have an A2000 with a 020 board with 8M of ZIPs on it, a 8M Zorro II board with DIPs, and an A3000 with 8M of ZIPs.  Well, I took the ZIPs off the 020 board and put them in the A3000 and put the Zorro II RAM card in the A2000.  There's no better solution.

What the heck is going on tonight?  I've had to type this three times now, due to OS4 crashes!

Anyway, I know you weren't slamming me, I realised too late that it sounded like I was being nasty and 'counterslamming' you!  sorry..  :pint:

I do still have those bridgeboards, ready to be reassembled, somewhere...  Right now my basement looks like a warzone and finding things is downright impossible.  But, if I stumble across any bridgeboards, I'll let you know.
Are you looking for a particular one?  I have several.  There is an 8088 one that I think I can find readily as it's in an A2000 that I can find.  Those don't have ZIPs though

Didn't any one mention that OS4 has bug that make is unstable with wind-chills below 32F?

 :-o  B-b-b-but it's 40F colder than that here!!
