For those looking for 4MB/80ns/4x8 SIMMS that will fit in the 030 NeXT
without taking any special steps, I can report that those
available from Peripheral Outlet (brandname is NMB) do fit and
have been functioning for the last hour or so without any problems.
When installed, the SIMMS rise to the same height above the CPU
board as do the original NeXT SIMMS. These SIMMS cost $189 each
(3% surcharge on VISA or MASTERCARD, COD accepted, $11 shipping -
I received them two days after I ordered - 1-800-332-6581). Again,
I'm not by any means recommending that anyone buy or not buy these
SIMMS - I just thought this info might be useful to at least some of
you. This will be my last message on the subject that I foresee :-).
BTW, after going from 8MB to 24MB, the machine has experienced
virtually no swapping even though I launched every app in the (full)
dock. Prior to the upgrade, doing this caused the machine to crawl
to a halt...
