Having received my NeXTstation color recently, a friend and I opened the
case to obtain part numbers for the 4 MB SIMMs used by the color machines.
I believe the same RAM is used for the new Cubes.
Anyway, thanks to William Pietri, those quirky 72 pin dual ported 4 MB
SIMMs have been found to be identical to the 4MB SIMMs used by the PS/2 Model
70 (IBM part no. 2933).
In addition, and again thanks to William, the best deal on these babies is
from South Coast Electronics, (800) 289-8801 [or (213) 208-3260 for you
international types]. They're out of LA, and I can recall having been
satisfied when I bought Mac memory from them a couple years back. Apparently
they even KNOW they're stocking NeXT RAM - but only if you speak with
one of the sales reps named Hani. Otherwise just say you're looking for
PS/2 Model 70 RAM. William says they're asking about $300 for 4MB SIMMs.
I hope this is some help to those who are looking to upgrade their color
machines.

Now this is the most important question. Those 72 pin 4 MB simms look ALOT like the 72 pin jobs used in the Macintosh IIfx. This is important bacause the going price for those IIfx simms is $150 as opposed to $300 for the PS/2 Model 70 simms. Does anyone know for sure or can anyone find out if these simms are the same.
