Can you even buy single sided 128Mbyte SIMMs?

i think alexh is right, isnt it the height that is the problem?

alexh : Where can I buy a single sided ?

I know that they exist : http://picasaweb.google.com/10692986...80347215570402

But don't know where I can get them

I'm still pretty sure they don't exist. That photograph is of a double sided SIMM. If you look carefully you can see they do not lie flat on the desk.

How do I know for sure?

Because the KM44V16104AK-6 chip is 8Mbytes (16Mx4) which means you need 16 of them to make 128-Mbytes (8 per side).

You would need a SIMM with 32Mx4 chips on to make an 8-chip 128-Mbyte (32Mx32) SIMM.

Hi,

I unfortunately got caught out by this same issue (naively!) about 3 months ago. I bought a 128Mb EDO 60NS SIMM for my Blizz 1230 MkIV and no it doesn't fit :-( My fault! You live and learn :-)

Ross.
