Where to get 50ns 72-pin SIMMs?

Do you mean something like THESE 128 Mb modules  :-?
They are not flat but they have no problem fitting a BPPC as you can clearly see on the pictures  :lol: (though they are a bit dated to be honest)

True, but the only 50ns 128 Mb EDO modules I have found so far appear to be 144 pins instead of 72 pins. It´s confusing that they call that EDO too  :madashell:

I have never seen those 50 ns modules in 128 Mb though I have noticed in the past that my ex-Microbotics 1230XA had an option to use 50 ns modules. Maybe they can be found in 32 Mb, never searched for that I think ...

Forgive me my lack of knowledge but what does it mean and what is the difference between 2k and 4k  :-?

I do can tell that the first two 128 Mb modules I ever had bought came from a HP server model 9000. Who cares where they came from, they were 128 Mb EDO modules 72 pins, that´s all I needed to know, not ?  :-o Eh, major bummer  :lol:
I tried it in my untuned Blizzard PPC, started with one module, plugged it in and turned on the computer ... nothing happened during the first two secs ... then I noticed the smoke and the smell of something burning  :idea: It was then that I realized something was going wrong  :lol: Need I to say that my card and A1200 needed some heavy repairing  :-? Need I to say that I never bought any of those modules again  :-?

AmigaKit : I know that Amiga cards need 5V modules and that 3,3V can damgage something but I have seen auctions of a greek guy selling 128 Mb modules with 3,3V that appear to work on A1200 cards, at least according to him. Never tried on of those as I prefer not to toast any of my cards again   :lol:

This may sound dangerous but when you set the speed of the Microbotics 1230XA to 50 ns and use a 60 ns module, would that mean that you would toast the module or that you would have to use a heatsink for the module  :-?
