If another run ever happened, I would totally buy 8 x 16 =128 MB total.

I am also interested if another batch happens.

Limited Availability of Macintosh IIfx SIMMs!​

For years, I’ve been on a quest—searching high and low, even internationally—to find the elusive Macintosh IIfx SIMMs. It’s heartbreaking to witness these once-available components become increasingly scarce, especially considering they powered one of the most iconic machines Apple ever crafted. A heartfelt shout-out to the original designers of these SIMMs, whose ingenuity deserves our admiration. We must also recognize the significant hurdles faced today creating pause for feasibility to put forth the effort. That is, unless one possesses an undying passion to keep this dream alive...

Fueled by my love for vintage computing and the memories these machines bring, I embarked on a personal journey to gather the vital parts and collaborate with expertise dedicated to resurrecting these essential SIMM modules. The truth is, original IIfx memory has become virtually unobtainable. With ongoing component shortages, skyrocketing tariffs, and spiraling international shipping costs, the situation has become dire. Each passing moment tightens the supply chain, leaving us uncertain if we’ll ever see another production run once the remaining components vanish.

I’m thrilled to announce that I now have 16MB SIMMs available in 128MB batches (a full set of 8 x 16MB SIMMs), meticulously crafted on the proven open-source Doug Brown 2015 PCB design. Each module has undergone rigorous stress testing and has been personally validated in my own Macintosh IIfx, ensuring stability. These quality SIMMs are proven ready to power your own IIfx with reliability.

If like me you’ve been eager and waiting to max out your IIfx to 128MB, seize this moment! This may well be your best—and possibly final—chance to do so.

📩 With the limited bandwidth I have available to help fulfill this, please direct all questions via PM. These are first come, first served while parts last. Don’t let this opportunity slip through your fingers—together, let’s breathe new life into your cherished Macintosh IIfx!8728219487377806107.jpeg2687084570187347208.jpeg262583992428614966.jpeg3689628678374405075.jpeg

How much will these SIMMs cost?

I’ll bite; what does “LLM alert” mean?

Large language model? I think the suggestion is that this isn't a real person, or the write-up is AI.

Oh, how tedious. You clearly have something people want. How hard is it to actually just write a forum post in your own words saying so?

The write up is definitely AI.

Most likely. An AI-driven Billy Mays bot.

I sent them a PM as per “request” on Friday and they never responded, so....

I wonder if this was an OpenClaw thing? The Internet is a weird place to be right now.

Not to mention, the OP explicitly stated he obtained Doug’s permission to monetize these, while I see no such mention in the post above.
