I have a couple of questions concerning the new NeXT's and memory. 1) What is the difference between normal 1MB & 4MB simms and the interleved version the NeXTstation Color requires? And are there any third party suppliers of this???? 2) There were comments when the NeXT was first released that, although it used 1MB simms, 4MB would and possibly 16MB simms might work in the NeXT. Since one company selling 16MB memory was memtioned on this net has anyone tried to use 16MB simms???? -- -- Doug Boyce dwboyce@acsu.buffalo.edu "Speedballs are interesting if you aren't the cannoneer doing the running."

The interleaved memory used by the NeXT color products (both Nextstation and allegedly nextdimensions) are in a 72pin packaging and are 80ns or faster. They come in 256Kb x 32 or 1Mb x 32 for non-parity and 256kb x 36, or 1Mb x 36 for parity systems. There are third party memory suppliers investigating this memory, but currently they have had space (side by side) problems fitting their prototypes into the color NeXTstation. If I hear something definitive on the subject I will post the information. BTW we will not post memory prices and suppliers in the FAQ. However we will have pointers to such information if it maintained on some archive. pasc
