SiliconInsider also has new 30-pin 4MB SIMMs (for 68k Macs) available for a reasonable price (

I am in the process of making multiple versions of these now for testing. The time/value is questionable currently, but I like the idea of recycling what I already have. It's also nice to have a friendly footprint to decide if you want parity or not.

I was thinking the same thing, it would be nice to recycle chips that are just sitting on the shelf.

That's a good price they have on Tindie, and I like the purple too. :)

Back when 72pin was still considered trash I bought it by the pound and stored it away in a box. A lot of it was bad but I have removed the chips as Ive slowly sorted through it over the years with a project like this is mind. What I need now is a good way to test individual chips before soldering.
