The MAC SIMMs will work using an OctoRAM memory card from MDIdeas. Works damn
well too.

If the company you're trying to deal with won't sell the board to you without memory, call up someone else who sells the board. Or call Harris Labs and see who their vendors are, and report any who refused to sell without memory. -- Shawn P.

In-Reply-To: message from asd@mace.cc.purdue.edu The OctoRAM card supports DMA with the first 4Mb. The second 4Mb aren't DMA compatible, but they make a kick RAM disk. This card was (I think) canned. MDIdeas has (again, I think) dropped support for the Apple IIgs. Get 'em while ya can!

OctoRAM (by MDIdeas) was the first SIMM Read carefully what he said! OctoRAM is out of business and from all indications will stay so. So GS Sauce is the only GS SIMM card on the market. I think most people would agree that a card not being currently marketed doesn't qualify for being defined as "on the market". proline: pro-novapple!daveharv | uucp: crash!pnet01!pro-novapple!daveharv | Pro-novapple BBS arpa: crash!pnet01!pro-novapple!daveharv@nosc.mil | 300/1200/2400/9600 Baud Internet: daveharv@pro-novapple.cts.com | 703-671-0416 | Northern Virginia Apple Users Group | P.O.

Well, I apologize for not keeping abreast of all companies current standings. The "MDIdeas is dead" thing has been floating around for awhile now, with a lot of folks saying YEAH/NEAH. Besides, I don't know if this is still true, but I was still seeing it advertised mail-order long after those rumors popped up, and when last I checked, I could still find it mail-order. Probably folks just selling off their stock tho. -k
