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.

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.
