Well, I finally have enough money for a hard drive! Since I'm going to get the CVT Ramfast SCSI card, I need to get a new RAM card since my GSRAM isn't DMA compatible (It's also full). Does anyone have any suggestions for a RAM card (SIMMS or individual chips, doesn't matter. Just has to go up to 4 megs) Harris Lab's card seems to be pretty cheap, as does that NCS-GS card... but, I don't know that much about them. AE's GSRAM+ is more expensive, but it works pretty well. Also, if anyone over here doesn't plan on getting a hard drive anytime, soon, you can buy my GSRAM rev. D, 1.5 megs on card for $130 negotiable. Please send e-mail if you're interested. Thanks in advance... Dave David Huang | This space Internet: ifar355@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu | intentionally America Online: DrWho29 | left blank

I have a fully populated GSRAM card I got about 3 years ago, and when I borrowed a hard drive (45 meg Syquest based), it all worked virtually perfectly...

Also, the latest issue of Nibble has a review for the two fast SCSI cards, and it says that the GSRAM rev D and below aren't DMA compat. I pulled out my GSRAM, and sure 'nuff, it was a rev. D copyright 1987. I'll still need more memory to compile those big C programs whenever I get Orca/C, so I'm still going to get a new card.

[ifar355@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu, looking for 4 MB DMA RAM card] I have an Apricorn memory card that works fine. I goot it a few months ago from Standard Peripherals (they advertise in inCider) for $59. It says it's DMA compatible (though I haven't verified this), and it works with my RAM Keeper. I got 2 MB of 1 MB chips from the Chip Merchant at the same time. I forget how much each chip was exactly, but 16 of them came to around $90 including shipping. This was a few months ago, and prices may have dropped since then. The Harris Labs GS Sauce costs about the same for the card (at Standard Peripherals, which Harris referred me to, it was $79), but SIMMs are slightly more expensive than DIPs. I think the Chip Merchant quoted me a about $110 for the SIMMs. -- Henry Throop THROOP@GRIN1.BITNET throoph@jacobs.cs.orst.edu

Chip Merchant has 'em for $39, but it's COD only, and that's a pain here at school... The GSSauce works great. It's nice to have 2.25 megs... > -- > Henry Throop > THROOP@GRIN1.BITNET > throoph@jacobs.cs.orst.edu -Greg T.

Since there are lot people interested in RAM cards that use SIMMS, and are
trying to get hold of SIMMs, I'd like to point out current price for SIMMS.
The lowerst price I've personally seen is $49 / SIMM of 1meg, and
had heard price of $39 /SIMM of 1 meg.
And they carry one year warranty.
cyliao@wam.umd.edu o NeXT : I put main frame power on two chips.
@epsl.umd.edu o people: We put main flame power on two guys.

They can be reached at: (619) 268-4774. No, I don't work for them either, but do like their prices. / \ / / ______________________________________________________ \\\' , / // ProLine: pro-grouch!lhaider \\\//, _/ //, INET: lhaider@pro-grouch.cts.com \_-//' / //<, /\\ UUCP: crash!pro-grouch!lhaider \ /// <//` //\\\ UUCP: crash!pro-grouch!lhaider@nosc.mil / >> \\\`__/_ ///\\\\ /,)-^>> _\` \\\ ////\\\\\ The opinions expressed here belong to (/ \\ //\\ // IIgs \\\ no entity(s), living or dead! // _//\\\\ ------------------------------------------------------ ((` ((
