I was wondering if anyone else would be interested in do-it-yourself DIP simms. Although there have been sporadic reports that the simm shortage is ending, I haven't found that to be true around here. However, I believe that it is easy to buy 1 meg dips. The PC board isn't hard to layout. Is anyone interested? Please reply by mail. Steve Ligett steve.ligett@dartmouth.edu or (decvax harvard linus true)!dartvax!steve.ligett

The price of a 1 Meg x 8 100ns SIMM at Fry's Electronics in Sunnyvale has been dropping steadily for about the last 2 months. The price as of yesterday is $299. Faster and/or wider SIMMs are surprisingly more expensive. I have heard reports of SIMMs available for $250. As far as I know, Fry's SIMMs are surface mounted. The DRAM shortage must be easing at least a little.
