A week ago I asked if someone knew where to get sockets to convert SIMMs to SIPPs. Ha! A few smart peole told me that I could take a soldertail SIMM socket and plug the wires in the SIPP holes, and why didn't I think of that? After calling 11 local stores today and finding one which even knew what a SIMM *was*, I started calling mailorder and didn't find anyone who sold less than a hundred at a reasonable price. So, does someone have an idea where to get the stupid sockets now? Thanks to all who responded the first time. -- bill davidsen (davidsen@crdos1.crd.GE.COM -or- uunet!crdgw1!crdos1!davidsen) VMS is a text-only adventure game. If you win you can use unix.
