OK thanks. Can you post better pictures and / or confirm the exact part number of the simm and the RAM chips please.Quote:

If the PPC is in a A1200 then I'm suggesting to take a dremel or simillar tool and re-shape the bracket if one of the SIMM's is tight up against it. There's quite a bit of leway here for making a small but very handy mod.Quote:

I have updated post 3 of this thread to reflect the use of a rubber band or zip tie and possible modification(s) if used in a standard A1200 on PPC boards.
Thing is: even when a chip is labelled as 50ns, it may fail running at such speed, hence the manufacturer mark the SIMM as 60ns.
HI rkauer, have been thinking the same thing. That is why higher res pictures and simm part number would help me decide.Quote:

On the other hand, chips labelled 60ns may actually run @ 50ns, but again, this depends on the hardware it is installed on & the quality of the 60ns chip.

*edit*
Sometimetimes, the industry deliberately label 50ns chips as 60ns purely to meet demand. This is also very relevant to all of todays current memory chips, CPU's & GPU's. - If you're lucky enough of course. ;)

Interesting...
Still waiting on some better pics and SIMM part number...
@ Blankstare, any chance please?
Just waiting on a fresh delivery of SIMM'sQuote:

So now I have one SIMM on my Blizzard PPC card and the other one in the SCSI module of my Blizzard 1260. :D

@ddni
No I received two of then and they are marked with 6 not 5.Quote:
Are the actual RAM SIMMs that you have all marked in the same way.
Regards
Ok thanks for that.Quote:

All trading on here by me is currently suspended due to the current situation on this website. Hoefully it is only a temporary situation.
Mods, please cose this thread until further noticce.
See earlier post on your other thread.

Interested declined, I got a blond moment and brake the back wind-shield of my van manouvering it.:ninja:
Goodbye Amiga money for the next three months...:(
No probs RK - hope the van feels better soon!
Only 1 SIMM available - PM directly as this will trigger an email to me - There will be no more after this.
For those wanting to know the chip number: KM44V16104AK-6 (16 chips per SIMM)
If noone takes this last one in an appropriate time I'm in for it.
All Sold
No more available
Once the items arrive in the buyer's hands and feedback is left, we can close this thread :-)
In the mean time: Happy trading :)

Just the rear wind shield was R$400,00 (~£170), more from the car painter and to re-shape the surface prior to replace the glass.:Doh::Doh::Doh::Doh::Doh:
Visa CC is happy, that's a thing I assure...:thumbsdown:
I get the Simm today. Thanks.
But one resistor is... hum... watch !
What I must do ?
That looks like a defect in manufacturing. Please send it back (my address is on the back of the packaging it arrived in) and I'll get you a replacement.Quote:

With your capabilities when wielding the Flux, ....re-seat it. ;)Quote:

No wonder I only got a C in French lol
Hey
Sorry to be a noob, BUT, will these fit a Blizzard 1230 with the trapdoor closed? I have 64meg atm with trapdoor closed but am unsure if any 128 Simms would fit with door closed.
Thanks
No, as these SIMM's overhang by approx 3mm the end user is unable to close the trapdoor.
Your two options are to go and find a SCSI board and fit the 128mb to that or run the 1230 with no trapdoor in place
---------- Post added at 12:45 ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 ----------
AFAIK, these are the smallest 128mb SIMM's still in production today so it is extremely unlikely you will find any 128mb SIMM that will lie flush in the socket in the same way the 64mb SIMM's do
Thanks for the info blankstare, I did wonder if any were made that would.
I notice one page back you said these were all sold but that was 8th may, but I see some posts where you direct here after you said they were sold? Do you still have any?
If you do would you mind saving one till pay day which is the end of the month. Or I have a 1200 1d4 mobo to trade, 2x a600 cases and one a3000 daughter board :D
Cheers, and I totally understand if you don't want to wait till pay day or trade.
EDIT:
Actually I don't think this will fit my 1230. I don't have any room for double height sim without it hitting something on the card itself. Just my single height 64meg fits tight.
These aren't double height SIMM's, they are about 4mm taller than your present 64mb SMMM but they do overhang the 68030 CPU hence the need to tie them down with a cable tie or elastic band
I can get hold of them at any time - just let me know when and how many.
Ah thanks very much for the info :)
I will get in touch with you at the end of the month.
Thanks very much :thumbsup:
Please be aware, that as of Monday 4th October 2010 the price has increased from my supplier which I cannot do anything about. A single 128mb SIMM is now 27GBP with free UK p&p, worldwide p&p is still only an extra 2GBP
