Arrrggghhh I need SIMMS

[Jose]

The net is becoming more and more useless to search stuff. I'd ilke advice on where to get single sided SIMMs for my Blizzard 1240, on Europe. The bigger the better. But they must fit on a destop A1200. :-o  128mb would be a killer, but since it's probably too expensie I guess I'll have to stick with 64 ones.

A pricey 32Meg slim simm at PowerC.

32Meg Slim simm here


They're perfect for Blizzard 040/060's in desktop cases.

Hi. Yeah, but it's damn expensive. I know I'm asking too much, but isn't there some place that sells old stuff very cheap that has those? That's what I'd like to find.
But hey thanks for the suggestion ;-)

They're expensive in all stores here in Sweden, too. They're not sold in big enough quantities, I guess. It's a seller's market in this particular case of computer paraphenalia.

Amiga Deals - 32Meg single simms £16 (after the accels and ROMs)

That's the only other place I can see just now.  I can't see any 64MB simms at all.

[Jose]

Well, I even found 128mb ones, but I don't know if they're compatible with a Blizzard. And they're probably double sided.

It was cheaper for me to buy  old second-hand PCs to get SIMMs for my Cyberstorm than it was to buy just SIMMs.   128MBs of SIMMs would have cost me $120US.  I bought two used 486s and got that much for $25US.  YMMV.  Remember to look inside before buying.

I just use the arstechnica.com 'shopping engine', look in {computers} for {simm}, click {go}
but I dont live in Europe, so YMMV

[Jose]

Well,  I found cheap 64mb ones, but it took a huge search, and I still don't know if it's compatible.
Also the message the site has about EDO ram is strange

On the apollo board I used to have I just modded the socket so I could fit double sided simms in.

modded = fudged  :-D

@Jose

EDO Simms are mega cheap these days apart from Amiga shops which just screw the users over,

Most will work in a Blizzard/Apollo board (the ones that dont seem to work by appearance are the ones that have very thin chips on them) and if you buy from a professional company they will accept returns if the simm does not work.

64mb SS Simm £15 (local comp fair)
32mb SS Simm £59.95 (Eyetech)

44 quid  and 32mb difference because it is called "Amiga Memory Simm"  :roflmao:

MicroDirect

64Mb £14.10 - don't know why their website is showing up as text though - eeeewwww.

[Jose]

Wow, microdirect rules. Will that fit on a desktop A1200 with a Blizzard 1240?
Anyway, I want more :-o  I want to take this thing to the maximum. I  read somewhere there was people having 128mb on it. Dammit, I'm gonna find it even if I pass here the whole night  :-x  :-D

[Paul_Gadd]

Microdirect ONLY sells double sides simms and the ones they send out are the thin ones which only reads out in a Amiga board half of what the mb states.

If you order from them just ask for a CHUNKY simm and it will work in a Amiga accel board but they are double sided.

[Jose]

Does anyone knows if 4k refresh mem modules are fully recognized in Amiga accelerators?
What you're going to bed? NONE get out of here till I find my SIMMS :-x
