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?"

    I eagerly clicked on this story, hoping that it offered some cool geek solution to the problem of what to do with all these damn 30 pin SIMMs! But no, just someone who actually wants more of them!

    So, does anyone have a cool project that can use these things? Maybe a programmable robot made from an old disk drive or a homebuilt one of these?

    If all this should have a reason, we would be the last to know.

    There is a hole drilled for the wires, power and 10baseT, with a nice rubber gromet installed. It does not get wet or need defrosting, frost-free freezers have a dehumidifying property. I run it there because the largest HD I own suffers from major thermal problems, and does not work properly unless chilled.It does not keep a grocery list(Good idea though..), it is a headless NFS server.

    Appropripriately enough, it's hostname is 'penguin'
