30 pin simms - with or without parity?

[madsjm]

I'm buying 30 pin simms for my GVP 2000 HC+8 and GVP A500 HD8+. I was thinking 8 x 1 MB for the 2000 and 2 x 4 MB for the 500.

Do I choose with or without parity? I have been looking at this web page, and honestly there are too many to choose from.  :-)

 Amigas don't need, nor require parity SIMM chips. And those without parity are cheaper, anyway.

You mean you actually want to buy 30 pins SIMMs??? I've still got dozens of them lying around, just tell me how many you'd like and what speed you require - 1 MB only, I gave all 4 MB away last year.

I'll be on the road next week, so if you want them now, you're out of luck.

Either type will work. Parity is not used on those boards.

Amigas, yes, but what about GVP As the current discussions show, GVP SIMM32 modules are 'special'. On the earlier GVP products, did they use 30 pin SIMM modules with special wiring? I actually have some of those, but I've never changed the RAM configuration, so I don't know.

 Those earlier GVP boards use to use regular 30-pin SIMM. The faster, the better.

 If you feel lucky, chase a pair of 60ns SIMM.
