When we got our Sun 3/60's I bought 130 MB of 1 MB Simms.  Sun wanted $500
per MB for Toshiba SIMMS.  The exact same Toshiba SIMMS could be bought
from Toshiba for $145/MB.

I found that buying SIMMS from Toshiba or Hitachi is the best way to go.
The prices are significantly lower than buying from a third party like
Clearpoint.

Could you give me a phone number for either Toshiba or Hitachi?  I can't
seem to connect to such people here in Toronto, and would be glad to phone
to your area, or CA, or wherever, to eventually get reasonably priced
SIMMs, no matter if I have to import & etc. ..

I'd appreciate any reply, thanks,
