Could someone send me some SIMM modules that should work ? http://simmconn.tripod.com/manual.htm

I'll check to see if I have any in the "old parts" bin. But I'm gone this weekend. So I wont be able to get back to you until next week.

thanks

I can source you probably up to a dozen compatible 32mb simms for $5 a piece. Not asking for money to sell my own but just have a kocal source with many in case you want them.

That's great to know. I think it is the right choice to keep using the SIMM slot 😀

I ordered an AWE32 Value.
someone wants to swap an AWE32 Gold for an X3M module ? (full version with enclosure : http://www.serdashop.com/X3M) --> pm me

I labeled the board 'SIMMConn Revival'

If you lived in USA I'd send you my awe64 gold for testing and a bag of various ram chips. But.. being so far over there where you are, international shipping would probably end up being almost double the market price of the parts.

Sadly not a viable option.. 😒

Same here. I live in the US as well, and have upgraded my own CT-3990 to the maximum 28MB RAM. I think I still have my smaller SIMM chips lying around somewhere, I had to take one away from my 8 month old. (She was MAD at me!) 😀

okay, ready for now, have to wait until all the ordered stuff arrives :

PALCE compatible programmer (wellon VP-598)
PLCC20 to DIP programmer adapter
some PALCE chips
some SIMM connectors
some PLCC20 sockets, PLCC extractor tool
10 pieces of 'SIMMConn Revival' blank PCB's (black colour)

from ebay : 1 x AWE64 value

Wow.. that is insanely expensive!

Here is one for about 1/5 the price:

SIMM connectors arrived, beauties !

Sweet!

Might be tempted to sell the real Creative 28MB upgrade I have and maybe one of my AWE64 cards once these are available.

What to do, what to do...

In my defence that was for a lot of 8, BRAND NEW sticks. Your listings were both USED single sticks.

Those SIMM sockets look perfect 😀

I have a question for your Serdaco - have you found love for the AWE64 now you've seen what it can do with MIDI and sound banks? 😀

hehe --
not yet, I have not tried it yet, as I understand I need a windows 98 or 95 installation for AWE64 ?
I used to have a guillemot 64 home studio card back in the day.

That is what I get for looking at a posting not in a language I can read fluently.

And it actually looks like it is for a lot of 10, not 8 if I am reading it correctly.

😀 I think you have corrected me accurately Cyclone.
I thought that was a useful link if there was going to be a production run.

Ah while I have you cyclone3d.... would you be able to email serdaco the Altium PCB layout? There has been issues in finding it. I think he has managed to access the original files, but it may help with troubleshooting.
