[comp.sys.amiga] Memory Chips

rlcarr@athena.mit.edu (Richard L. Carreiro) (02/10/88)

Sorry to bother you all, but I really need to find some memory chips.
What I need are:
    256K by 1 bit by 150 nanoseconds  or
    256K by 1 bit by 120 nanoseconds.  I need 48 of them.

I would prefer chips by Mitsubishi, Hitachi, Fujitsu, or TI, but would
like to hear about any kind.  Also, I would prefer the 150 ns chips.
120ns work fine in the board I have, but give no advantage.
I would appreciate any names/phone numbers/addresses of mail-order houses,
or direct from people who have such chips and want to sell them or anything 
like that.

Please email me any information.  If you can't handle ARPAnet, try
rlcarr%athena@eddie for UUCP.

If it bounces, post to comp.sys.amiga, as that's what I need the chips for,
and there are probably lots of Amiga users for whom the info would be
useful.
  Thank you all in advance,

Thanks for all the suggestions, but I *have* bought them from someone here
at MIT who read the posting - took all of 4 hours.  A testiment to the power
of USENET.  Again, thank you all!!

	I too am looking for good 256k RAM chips. I have a line on some 200ns
chips for $4 from Computer Elite, P.O. Box 213 Groveport, OH 43125
614-836-9600, but I'd like the 150s. I'm buying a bare EZ RAMII board and need
16 of the critters. 

	E-mail replies are welcome, but methinks that the info would be of
benefit to the entire 68k community.

	Looking forward to your replies.

	Marty

I have 16 NEC 256Kx1, 150 nsec chips that I don't need since I bought an 
ASDG 8MI (which uses 1Meg chips).  I'll give them away for $40. FCFS.
E-mail to me directly.

Good grief?  What are all these questions about "where can I buy RAM
chips?" doing here?  Pick up any Byte or Computer Shopper and look
through the ads!  And by the way, 200ns are NOT fast enough for the
ST, you need 150ns or better.

Some good sources to start with are:

	Microprocessors Unlimited
	(918) 267-4961

	JDR Microdevices
	(800) 538-500 (408) 866-6200

	Advanced Computer Products
	(800) 854-8230

	I.C. Express
	(800) 892-8889  (800) 882-8181 in CA

	Jameco
	(415) 592-8097

They advertise in Byte and Computer Shopeer, by the way.  You might
want to know that ram chip prices have just about doubled since the
first of the year, too.

Well, up here in the Great White North, where we don't have to protect
the mighty Micron from going out of business...

I think I could find something to beat $4 US.  Last I looked, I (Logicraft)
could sell 256K 150 ns DRAMS for $4.50 CDN or so, that is, at the time about
$3.30 US.  Of course, the US dollar has dropped a little since then, 
and I think chip prices moved up slightly, but I still think I could
sell 256K 150ns for less than $3.50 US, or about $4.25 CDN.
120ns chips were a little more expensive, $5 CDN and 100ns were much
worse, about $10 CDN.

Of course, these are all still Japanese chips, but I don't know how
much US Customs cares about high-tech pass-throughs.

Just give me the price to beat, and I'll see what I can do.
