Hi to all,
I need a little bit of help from you, can someone tell me if these memory modules are indeed COASt module?
Here is the picture from the seller...
Thank a lot!
Yup, looks like.
Don't bet on them working on anything but the intended hardware tho.
They might, and chances are they will, but then again they might not.
Then again, if the price is right =)
and a lot of them indeed ^^
I can't see all the modules but just be aware that Macs of the time also used COAST modules of the form factor seen on the right (gold pins with a single break between them), and those probably don't work with PCs.
Thanks for your reply, unfortunately the seller is not responding, but if the price is really low, I will buy them...
Thanks again!

I thought only PCChips made a different COAST module using the same form factor.

They all have a single break on the right, even on PC, right ? Or did I miss something ?

PC Chips made the only ones which will burn the mainboard when using a wrong one. 😉
Octek made its own ones, too. Normally, however, most follow the same standard and if not, they simply don't work.
