I just received my A3000 and I'd like to add some more memory to it. Can
anyone tell where I can find the 80ns 256 * 4 ZIP chips needed to make the
A3000 run at its maximum speed? I called practically every company in Byte
and Computer Shopper whose ads said that they sold memory chips and almost
all of them said they didnt carry memory chips in the ZIP format. Those that
did sell ZIP chips didnt offer them with 80ns access time or with static
column. Just about the only place which carries them is Microprocessors
Unlimited which sells them for $12 a chip. I'd like the name , address and
telephone number of any other company that sells these chips. I dont
understand why Commodore chose to use such expensive and hard to find chips
in the design of the A3000. Why couldnt they have used SIMMs which are as
cheap and easy to find as dirt?
thanks

Two people E-mailed me when I first posted this question on comp.sys.amiga.
hardware asking me to send them any information I received in answer to my
question. Since I didnt received any replies to my question , I couldnt
forward that information to anyone else. Also , I was just cleaning out my
mailbox and I accidentally deleted the names and E-mail addresses of those
two people. Would those two people please send me another E-mail message
so I can send you the info I receive , if I receive any.
