128 Mb Ram for Amiga, VERY RARE+STILL SEALED !!!!!!!!!!

128 Mb Ram for Amiga, VERY RARE+STILL SEALED !!!!!!!!!! At this link on Ebay I sell a module for 42 euro with shipping to any place in the world included, Ebay charges included and PayPal charges included. I can also sell them at 38 euro outside Ebay and without PayPal if you can transfer it to my bank account

But do note that this module is a brandnew one !! I have also got several other modules that are used but also in perfect condition and I sell them at 34 euro outside Ebay but payment by PayPal and for 32 euro also outside PayPal. These modules are guaranteed to work as I shall test them before shipping, each one of them. I personally have them in my Blizzard PPC card and had them in a Blizzard 1240 and also in a Microbotics 1230XA but these last two cards belong now to somebody else

What makes this so rare?

alexh · 11 April 2005, 22:53

I am guessing it's so rare because it may be SINGLE SIDED? A lot of the Amiga accellerators were designed before 128-Mb 72-pin SIMMS were created, most are double sided and as the simms are supposed lie in flat simm sockets some double sided ones (which are the majority today?) dont fit?

Amiga1992 · 11 April 2005, 22:57

All SIMMs should fit, actually.
Today you don't find SIMMs in the streets.

I have empirical data that proves otherwise

Ok so non are 128-mb but you can and do still find SIMMs in all shops that I know of.

Effy · 11 April 2005, 23:30

Guys, the only thing that makes them rare is the fact that they are new and never used. Of course I know that you still can find those modules at shops like at AmigaKit where their price is 64,99 GPB or 94 euro for two, exclusive shipping, while I can sell similar modules for 32 euro or 22 GB Pper piece inclusive shipping and they also work in Blizzard PPC cards

don't you mean you DO find SIMMs in the streets? I found 2x 32meg in mine the other week (inside a discarded PeeCee)

wlcina · 12 April 2005, 09:02

If that thing was never uset it may be not functional :-). I think thats a not "rare" thing, maybe uncommon, but not rare.
I have amiga AMOS book - in Czech language- never used, is that rare ? nope :-)

Eny- · 12 April 2005, 14:54

Especially when nowadays SIMM's are "freebies"

Bamiga2002 · 12 April 2005, 15:01

What matters to me is that is this a 50ns or 60ns SIMM? I'd definitely need a 50ns one since i've overclocked my BPPC. Can't select max. memory settings from the bootmenu with my current 60ns memory.

Effy · 13 April 2005, 06:57

Bamiga2002 : good piont, have been searching for 50 ns 128 Mb too but can´t find any, at least not 72 pins ...

My modules are 60 ns which may work too at 50 ns if you use a cooler I guess. On the other hand there DO exist 32 Mb 50 ns modules but so far I preferred the bigger 128 Mb ones because 2x32 Mb 50 ns doesn´t seem so impressive as 2x128 Mb 60 ns

Effy · 13 April 2005, 08:16

This is my other auction with used modules

And these are 100% tested and work for sure !!

The other modules that are still packed are of course not tested, if I had to do that then they would have to be taken out of the package and then it would be used modules, not

If you want to buy a brandnew car then I assume you also wouldn´t like to hear that it has already been tested by the director´s kid, would you

*shrug*
Wait until the auction for the now 42 euro SIMMs is OVER.

You forgot last-minute bidders who could easily drive up the price to a stunning 90 euro

Effy · 13 April 2005, 11:04

andreas : now that would be fun of course, but let´s face it, it´s not a rare original game for the CDTV

ok, my jaw just dropped, what on earth do you need 256mb for an amiga?!?!
Or another question, what programs on an amiga require that much ram?!?!?
I'm not that up with the latest and greatest sw on the miggy, I just remember those days where I'd be able to get 1.3 workbench up and
still have manage 1,XXX,XXX on the workbench bar (this was on a 1MB a500). ahh those days hacking
around to squeeze every byte... even just staying with command line... i miss those days.

having extra memory on the amiga just spoils that fun I tell you

tin · 13 April 2005, 14:26

true true. I had 16 meg (£99 from power) and when I was given a 32meg i HAD to stick it in there to look good. When I maybe needed it again for a PC (matched pairs argh) I realised I never used anythiung over about 6 meg. So the 16 is back in and the mig is swimming in RAM.......

Effy · 13 April 2005, 15:09

I can understand your point of view, but my own point of view is somewhat different. A few years ago I used a Blizzard 1230/4 with scsi and 96 Mb Ram. Too much ??? No way, far too low !! I used it as a buffer for MakeCD, I used it to unpack new stuff to Ram Disk, I used it as a harddrive even to copy my boot partition into and then format Boot and copy it all again on the fresh formatted partition

I also used it to copy a major part of my system so that after long bootup the system would work much faster !!
And I also want extra memory for when OS4 comes out for Blizzard PPC cards, and that needs a bit more than 16 Mb of Ram

Effy · 15 April 2005, 06:26

About OS4, probably the majority of people here have read it but for those who missed it, here is the link to read the article about Ryu, betatester for OS4

A little piece of his article says :

"The "classic" version of OS4 is still in closed beta testing but is quite advanced and is running on both the CyberStorm PPC A3/4000's and Blizzard PPC A1200's. Being PPC native, the OS needs more RAM than previous versions of AmigaOS but it is still lean and efficient, as we have come to expect. It will boot from 3.0 ROM's and can handle Zorro cards, clockport adapters, PCMCIA devices etc. through the existing 68k drivers. PCI busboards also use their own 68K software to work with OS4. Eventually these expansion systems will be handled by OS4 native drivers. This will mean that PCI cards such as soundcards, IDE boards etc. will then work using the native drivers already available on the AmigaOne."

So that´s why I try to have as much Ram as possible, and I even ask myself why the Blizzards can handle 256 Mb Ram and the Cyberstorms (being very expensive) can only handle 128 Mb Ram

Effy · 21 April 2005, 11:32

The auction is ending in 8 hours today and the highest bidder has already bought and paid something else in the past so I need to add his name to the list of trusty buyers, not ?!

kriz · 21 April 2005, 15:31

Effy: Argh , i am gonna buy one or two of these 128mb chips, I have 32 on my Amiga 4000 (too little) and 64mb on my A1200 (also too little

)..

Hope you also sell some in a month or two

Do you know if they work on a Apollo 060 A4000 card (its very picky about the ram

)
