I posted a For Sale of 256k rams about 10 days ago. I have received a few requests for more information on these chips. They are 256k x 1, 100 ns. rams. Brand new, Fujitsu made, top quality. Have not had a bad one yet, but will gladly replace if one should be in this batch. Anyone who wants to add additional memory to their Amiga, can do so at a lower price than through the manufacturer of the memory board. Prices are as follows: 16 for $85.00 32 for $160.00 48 for $235.00 These prices include shipping via U.P.S. ground. Add $3.00 for C.O.D. Chips will be sent same or next day check is received, or order received in case of C.O.D. You may post date check for 10 days if you wish, so that you will have chips before check is deposited. I trust the check will be good. Over 2 megs. have been sold already. Less than 4 megs. are left.

Also, if you only need 150nS access, seems like $3.50- $4.00 is closer to what you pay.

Anyone who wants to add additional memory to their Amiga, can do so at
a lower price than through the manufacturer of the memory board.
Prices are as follows:
16 for $85.00 32 for $160.00 48 for $235.00
Unless my calculator has gone bad, those prices equate to a unit price of:
$5.31 each for 16 chips
$5.00 each for 32 chips
$4.90 each for 48 chips
Looking at last night's San Jose (CA) Mercury-News, at the Fry's advertisement
(Fry's is a large consumer electronics store with two branches in Silicon
Valley), we find the following unit prices for 256Kx1 DRAM chips, brand new:
$2.79 each for 150 nS
$2.89 each for 120 nS
$2.99 each for 100 nS (vs. the $4.90 each quoted above)
$3.69 each for 80 nS
$5.59 each for 60 nS
On any given day, the chips will be those mfd by Hitachi, NEC, Samsung, Fujitsu
,
etc. And Fry's generally substitutes faster parts at the lower price if they'r
e
out of stock of the specific part one wants on any given day. Over the past 3+
years I've purchased over 800 DRAM chips from Fry's at prices similar to
(usually lower) than the above, and not one chip has been defective (and these
are used in systems operating 24 hrs/day, 7 days/week). Caveat emptor.

OK, OK, stop with the email. 9 people sending email probably equates to at least 10x that number wanting the information (re: Fry's re: the DRAM chips). Fry's accepts VISA, M/C, checks, cash, one's firstborn, whatever! :-) Their hours are (Pacific time) 8am-9pm Mon-Fri; 9am-7pm Sat; 9am-6pm Sun. Their main store is: Fry's Electronics 541 Lakeside Drive Sunnyvale, CA (ZIP code unknown) 408/733-1770 Their second store is: Fry's Electronics 440 Mission Court Fremont, CA (ZIP code unknown) 415/770-FRYS I do know they HAVE accepted phone orders. The prices quoted in my original posting are, per their ad, "Good through 10/10/89." Thad Floryan [ thad@cup.portal.com (OR) ..!sun!portal!cup.portal.com!thad ]
