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?"

    Okay. Enough.
    /. is now listing classified ads as front-page articles?!
    Get on Google, numb-nuts!

      It's true, the /. editors want us to go someplace else. I'm just waiting for the banner ad to tell us where it is....

    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.

    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.
