I'm trying to upgrade my A-3000 (like every body else!). Are there any groups contemplating a GROUP buy of SCRAM ZIPs? They are still quite pricey. Any sources of CHEAP chips?? Thanx, :)

Thanx, :) The best pricing I've heard of at the retail level is from Megatronics (800-345-5080 or 714-282-0120). The last time one of the users on my BBS ordered 1Mx4 SCRAM ZIPs they paid about $28 each... I don't know what they're going for now, and I've never personally bought from them, but my users seem to like the service and prices... -Bill Seymour nesbbx!billsey@agora.uucp or nesbbx!billsey@agora.rain.com ***** American People/Link Amiga Zone Hardware Specialist NES*BILL ***** Bejed, Inc.

The $28 price is for quantities > 100 pieces. These prices do not include shipping, and there is an extra charge for payment via credit card. *********** Group purchase effort for the Atlanta area: If I can get enough people to buy 104 chips (13 sets of 8), I will place the order. I am looking for people in the Atlanta area for two reasons: 1) so that I can get a deposit (we're talking about a purchase of nearly $3000; I can't afford to have people change their minds), and 2) so that I won't have to repackage and reship smaller packets of chips; I would prefer for people to come pick them up ("from either of two convenient locations"). The chips are 80ns Static Column 1Meg x 4bits. 'Because the chips are factory fresh (not used) and have been very reliable,' Megatronics gives a 10 year warranty. They are in stock, and would ship from there to me via 2nd day air. To use them in an Amiga 3000, you must install them in sets of 8 chips. If you and/or someone else you know are interested, please reply via email. David Carter Internet: gtnetdc@prism.gatech.edu uucp: ...!{decvax,hplabs,ncar,purdue,rutgers}!gatech!prism!gtnetdc

Apparently the $28 price was for dealers and not to be quoted. The price for bozos like me who need a mere 4 megs is 32.50... Anyone know of a better price? Iftikhar

The user who left me the message with that price is just a user, as far as I know... And he left it as a public message on the board. Maybe they decided that it was giving too good of a deal, or they may have made a good buy once. There were several postings on my system about this, pricing started right around christmas time at $38, then dropped to $32, then $30 then $28... -Bill Seymour nesbbx!billsey@agora.uucp or nesbbx!billsey@agora.rain.com ***** American People/Link Amiga Zone Hardware Specialist NES*BILL ***** Bejed, Inc.

ON that note, are there any good cheap sources for 1mbx8 70NS nibble mode
SIMMS? I need 4 megs to go in a GVP 33mhz 68030 board.
