Swapshop!!

DDNI · 19 July 2006, 02:05

Hi all I need a 32mb 72pin simm 60ns that is known to work on an Apollo1240

I will swap it for a brand new very thin and small (5cmx2mx0.5cm ish) 64mb USB memory stick and a brand new Data projector laser pointer with Infra read page turner and USB receiver.

Heres hoping lol

Thanks Sarek2k, but thats a 64mb simm, my board can only take 32mb

I agre, I love swapping stuff, and the TV show "Saturday Morning Swapshop" is nearly Amiga Vintage

whiteb · 19 July 2006, 15:57

Chances are, it will TAKE a 64MB simm, but only ADDRESS the 32MB.

DDNI · 19 July 2006, 16:20

hmmm true whiteB.

I bought a random one off of ebay which didnt work, so I need one that is known to work on an Apollo1240.
(if anyone is using one, could you let me know which brand it is?)
Also I have seen 64mb (2x32mb) matched pairs. Can a single simm be used alone, or must they remain as a pair?

Thanks though....

T_hairy_bootson · 19 July 2006, 16:30

Of course you can use just one, they are usually sold in pairs though. They are everywhere on ebay.

DDNI · 19 July 2006, 16:37

Ta for that, its just the ones I got from ebay (hypertec HYMIB04064) were a matched pair and didnt work

DDNI · 23 July 2006, 21:17

Now this is odd...
I bought a 64mhz crystal and also a 32mb Simm from amigakit.com which was guaranteed compatible with the Apollo1240.
On fitting the new simm, guess what.... I had the same issues that I had with other Simms - http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=24418

Now having resigned myself to the fact that I am only ever going to get 16mb on my card, I decided to put the 64mhz crystal in and see what sort of a performance boost I would get. I am glad to say my MIPS jumped from 18.94 with the 040 at 25mhz to 24.34 with it at 32mhz.

Happy with that, I suddenly realised that the new crystal had changed the timing of my board and maybe I should try the Simm from amigakit.com again.

Lo and behold the system booted first time showing 32mb fastram, and has been stable for two days!

How odd!!

keropi · 23 July 2006, 22:20

cool!

sarek2k · 24 July 2006, 23:55

(here's me correcting someones spelling the worlds worst loL

)

Zetr0 · 13 August 2006, 06:06

I have found my friends that spelling is an art form... a progressive one at that...

take mine for example, i have found that between 10pm and 12 its late monne to early rembrant, then from 12 till 2 its pretty much early rennaisons with 2 till 6 flagrantly picasso.

[edit]

I have also noted in this that alcohole can expediate the progressive nature of art in these matters

DDNI · 13 August 2006, 09:37

tsk tsk... Monet and Renaissance. You really must try harder!!
