1964.0. "Memory for an AlphaStation 200 4/166" by NNTPD::"[email protected]" (John Plessas) Fri May 09 1997 17:35

I have an AlphaStation 200 4/166.  I am sorely in need of memory.  Currently
it only has 32M in it.  I use it for both NT and UNIX.  I've been trying to 
locate some memory for it on DIAL, but to no avail.  What I was wondering
is, is there anything special about memory in one of these.  Could I just
order
a couple of, lets say, 32M 72-Pin Parity SIMMs either 60ns or 70ns?

Thanx
John

Ordinary PC 72-pin "parity" SIMMs work fine in AS255. They have three extra
parity bits that are not needed by the AS255, but the AS255 ignores them.

1964.2Same is true for AS200 right?NNTPD::"[email protected]"John PlessasSat May 10 1997 00:296
Same is true for AS200 right (not just AS255)?

Thanx for the quick reply

That's right.

1964.4a use for a Jensen.... - SIMMs are the sameCERN::HOBBSCongrats to the Ignoble Peace Prize winner! (http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/ig_nobel)Sun May 11 1997 12:064
If you've got a dead Jensen, the SIMMs in those are also 36/72/70 and
work fine.

The Jensen SIMMs come in sets of 4, so it's a good match for a 250. 
1964.5Shop at COMPUSA for memory, not IEGSTAR::jacobi.zko.dec.com::jacobiPaul A. Jacobi - OpenVMS Systems GroupMon May 12 1997 14:088
If you can't find any used memory on dial and are forced to order 
new, then I suggested obtaining memory SIMMs through your local 
computer store.  It will probably save your CC a tremedous amount of 
money, rather than ordering though IEG ridiculous memory prices!
