30-pin SIMMs
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?"
Okay. Enough.
/. is now listing classified ads as front-page articles?!
Get on Google, numb-nuts!
I've had a 1 meg 30 pin simm of my keychain for the last 3 years, one of the memory chips broke off a while back. The other two could be in good working order. Sold: AS IS
At least in this case.
First, if you want the fucking things, at least put up a hotmail address where we can reply direct. If you weren't such a 'tard, I might let you have some 4 MB chips.
Second, for what you are going to pay for these chips, wouldn't it make more sense to pony up the bucks for a Pentium that takes more modern memory?
Third, haven't you ever heard of Google or Pricewatch? Yes, you are a tard.
Finally, if you send email to my almost nonobfuscated address, (If not viewable on slashdot, go to the web page listed, and find it there. Shit, must I do everything for you?) and ask nicely, I may have a copy of Slack 3.0 at home. Won't even charge you shipping.
But please, try not to be a tard.
(Moderators: yes, a flaming troll. BUT, I've offered to help out this poor sot. Are you going to bury my generous post at -1, or mod it up to +5, and quickly get him taken care of for free? Do I really think he is a tard, or am I just seeing which side of moderation will win out? Are you a part of an experiment?)

I remember paying over $100 for each 1 MB SIMM back in 1990 and there's absolutely no way I'd be willing to part with one for less than $80 because they're still perfectly functional.

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.
If only you could mod down an article (like this one)...

I seem to have trouble finding my ass.
I used both hands, even.
Can someone help me find my ass?
http://memman.com sells memory, including 30-pin simms. Not that it'd be difficult to with google, yahoo, altavista, lycos, or any number of other similar things.
http://www.slackware.com/getslack has a list of mirrors. Some of them are fast, some of them are good, and some of them are both.
Go away.
Kid-proof tablet..
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'
