Does anyone know of where I might buy 3rd party memory upgrades for a DN4000
and a DN3500 Apollo workstation?
1) The DN4000 currently is equipped with 8Meg, and I would like to upgrade
to 12 (or more if possible).
2) The DN3500 has 4Meg. I would like to upgrade this to at least 8.
As an aside, I would also be interested in used memory for these machines if anyone
has some lying around.
(I have asked a similar question on this network before, and recieved several
replies. In the preceding few months I have managed to lose this information.
Sorry about this repeat)

I would like to upgrade this to at least 8. I am using DN4000 (SR10.2). Yesterday I just upgraded my machine 16Mb to 20Mb. More precisely, I purchased a 8Mb RAM board and exchanged one of four original 4Mb boards with it. It works very well. The 3rd party from which I purchased the board is HELIOS SYSTEMS, A DIVISION OF PIICEON INC., A DYNATECH COMPANY 1996 Lundy Avenue, San Jose, CA. 95131 Phone (408)432-0292 FAX (408)943-1309 It cost me 480K yen (about $3692). Another 3rd party I know is Clearpoint Research Corporation 35 Parkwood Drive, Hopkinton, MA. 01748 Phone 1-800-CLEARPT I don't how much it costs.

$3600 is fairly expensive for an 8MB memory board for a DN3500/4000/4500, especially if it included the trade-in of a 4 MB board. I believe that the last price list I received from Digital Micronics had a list price of $1000 for a 4MB board and $1500 for an 8MB board (US list prices for DN3xxx/4xxx machines, HP 9000 series 400 memories were considerably more expensive). I have not done any business with DMI, so I can not comment on the product itself, but their price seems to be good. DMI's phone number is: (619) 931-8554. -- David Krowitz krowitz@richter.mit.edu (18.83.0.109) krowitz%richter.mit.edu@eddie.mit.edu krowitz%richter.mit.edu@mitvma.bitnet (in order of decreasing preference)

I've heard horror stories about the cost of living in Japan, like a glass
of orange juice for 1200 yen, but this is absurd. We usually pay less than
$1000 for 8Mb of memory, without trade-in.
