Has anyone any good suggestions as to cheap sources of memory within the UK? I am after 4MB * 8 SIMMs with 80 or 100ns access times, similar to those used in the Mac II series (although I actually want them for a NeXT). Are there any cheap sources in the UK, or is it cheaper to order by credit card from the US?

I get stuff like this by mail order from germany actually; just as cheap
and only UK Vat to pay, not extra import duty.
You might also try phoning up SEMI ICS Ltd on 0932 241 866. They
send me a price list yesterday with no prices on it! I'd like to
see how much they charge nowadays. (years back, when I was in the
BBC Micro ram board business, I used to haggle reasonably good prices
out of them. They *might* not be too keen on one-offs though...)

They advertise in the Micromart section of "Personal Computer World". Their prices seem to be about as low as you'll get. I bought a couple of 1Mb SIMMS from them a month or two ago. _____________________________________________________________________________ | Scott Telford, Dept of Computer Science, scott@cs.hw.ac.uk | | Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK. scott%hwcs@ukc.uucp | |_____ "Expect the unexpected."
