Last weekend I checked with the service person at my local computer store and she said that the latest Apple service bulletin now lists SIMMS as "not currently available" -- i.e. they have been more-or-less withdrawn from the catalog until the chip supply situation improves. It doesn't matter if you are a member of the university consortium or just an ordinary customer. You'll have to wait.

Apple has informed us that an order placed now with them for memory will probably be filled sometime in September. I am not entirely sure that this will be the case; we are expecting late October delivery. Also, get your orders out by June 6! The prices are going up by at least 42%, more in some cases.

I got some 256K SIMMS for my Mac II (2 Meg is more than 100% than 1 Meg...) by posting a request for them over this network. A number of people who had used SIMMS for sale responded to my posting. I bought one set and am happy as a clam. I highly recommend that method!
