[comp.sys.atari.st] Any ZIP RAM expanders for ST?

ritchie@hpldola.HP.COM (Dave Ritchie) (06/18/89)

  I was wondering if there are any ST ram expansion boards that use ZIP
format for 1Mbit chips. For those unfamiliar with ZIP's, they are configured
like this:

   | | | | | | | | | |              ___________________
  --------------------   TOP view   |                 |
  | | | | | | | | | |               |_________________|  Side view
                                     |||||||||||||||||

(the reason I'm asking it that there is a guy locally that had these
for $7 each). Also, how fast of RAM's are needed (I don't think this is 
a problem for ST's - I think that any 1Meg parts available today are
fast enough).

	Just take the inverse of the clock speed
	1 / 8e6 which is 125e-9 or 125 nanoseconds
	therefore, anything <125 would work.

if not for ZIP - does somebody know a ram expansion using SIMM ???
SIMM ram devices are used in Mac's and some AT's and are often
much cheaper than standard ram chips (DIL).
