| RAM! |

After a bit of a fight between me and another bidder, I picked up this on eBay last night. I'm hoping they're 64MB sticks...if so Christmas has come early, and my Performa 5260, LC475 and LC630 DOS Compatible will all be getting some nice upgrades...but if not thats cool - I can always use 72 pin SIMMs that are bigger than 8MB.

Nice! Good luck that they're 64MB each - would be a treat!

I got them today...they have 4 NEC 4218160-60 chips on them each. From what I can gather, I think they're 8 MB SIMMs. Great. I seem to be like a magnet for these things, it seems. :-/
Note to self: No more buying "as is" RAM on eBay.

Dang, really sorry about that. D:
Good thing they're not hard to find at all.

The trouble with that though is that I've already got a metric crapload of 8MB 72 pin SIMMs that I'll never use, and that I can't see of being much value to anyone else, either.
Now, if they were 30 pin SIMMs...that'd be different. But they're not. 😛

Did they even make 8MB 30pin SIMM's?
That would have been an ungodly amount per stick back in the day.
Not too mention very expensive.
I once paid $300 for a 4MB stick.

I assume they would have, as they made 16MB 30 pin SIMMs.

Most Macs could not handle 8MB 30-pin SIMMs. The path for most, with a few notable exceptions, was 256kB, 1MB, 4MB, 16MB. That is, fourfold increments. Some left off one end or other of that progression, but could use 2MB (Classic II) or 8MB (IIci). 8MB seemingly appealed little to Apple engineers.
