30-pin SIMMs

Posted by michael on from the obsolescence dept.

An anonymous reader sent in: "I'm curently working on some 386s at home that use 30-pin SIMMs and all the ones I have are only 512k. Does anybody know where I could get some more? Or does anybody have any that they would be willing to give up? Also, does anybody know where i could get Slackware 3.x other than slackware.com?"

  1. Try Crucial.com by questionlp · · Score: 2, Informative

    You can try Crucial.com. I was able to find three different 30-pin Fast Page SIMMs within about a minute here.

    Okay, I think I have both. Just email me at:

    No charge.

  3. Excellent source for memory by Aaaaaargh! · · Score: 2, Informative

    For the last 6-7 years, I've bought all of my memory from Coast to Coast Memory (1-800-4-MEMORY) I've never been screwed by these guys. Had to have one 256MB PC133 SDRAM replaced that crapped out on its second day of use, no problems with exchange.

    They're at all the local computer shows, always test before they sell and have a lifetime guarantee on all memory. Plus, they carry old stuff like the 30-pin SIMMs (up to 16MB, I think), SIPPs, SOJJs and they can find more esoteric stuff.

    There's nothing wrong with Crucial, either. Have you tried checking out local computer shows? If they're any good, they test the memory right there. No shipping charges, and often, no taxes.
