Identifying 30-pin SIMMS

[Cyberus]

I'm completely au fait with 72-pin SIMMS, but if I have say a 1M x 9 30-pin SIMM, that's a 1 Megabyte parity SIMM, yes?

So an 8 Megabyte SIMM will be 8M x [a number]?

Thanks

[Cyberus]

Thanks. Yep - most of the SIMMS I've got are 1Mx9 or 256K(!)x9
With the odd non-parity e.g. 256k x 8

Essentially, I asked a question that I could've answered myself...doh! I ought not to be so quick to ask other people.

As an aside - has anyone got any 8MB 30-pin SIMMS spare?

Regards

No amigas used 30 pin SIMMS AKAIK.
I just wanted to populate my Fastlane.

As far as I know there are no 8Mb 30pin simms, I belive it jumps from 4Mb stright to 16Mb.

Really?
Hmm, my old computer tech at college gave me 2 x 8MB SIMMS a while back, and another thing - on the BBoAH, it says that the Fastlane can be populated with up to 64MB. It has 8 slots, so I assumed (for some reason) 8 x 8MB SIMMS.
I must admit though, I haven't seen any 8MB ones for sale...

@ framiga

Thank you! Yes, they are very cheap!

@ Brian

You are right, I've just re-read the description.
Doh! And I have one upstairs next to my A4000!


Thanks guys :-)

The GrandSlam 500 can hold 8 30 pin SIMMs of max. 1mb each.
Next week I'll recieve a bunch of 30 pin SIMMs so then I have an A500 with 2,1gb harddrive (SCSI) and 8.5mb fastmem
how does that sound?

And your point is?

no point, they asked what amiga uses 30 pin simms.. well there it is

Oh ok.
But there are NO Amigas that use 30 pin SIMMS AFAIK, only Amiga addons.
The Pre A3000, they were soldered onto the motherboard, A3000 they were ZIP chips and A4000 was 72-pin SIMMS
AFAIK
