Hi all.
I'm basically trying to split up a discussion from the "Bought these (new) hardware today"-thread to over here as I think there is a lot to talk about when it comes to both the usual and the really strange memory modules we see.
Original reply: Re: Bought these (retro) hardware today
Personally I think the modules RacoonRider scanned are parity, but I'm not sure.
Because I was having dinner and can't eat while digging through boxes of memory modules, I decided to dig through my collection of old photos instead and found a few other odd memory modules.
One pic is from 10 memory modules (5 pairs) of 64MB SIMM modules. These do post in a standard s7 board, but they were very unstable which is because of the large number of chips I think (many motherboard manuals of the day actually mention a maximum of 24 chips iirc). Both sides are "chipped" on all of these modules.
Even though I had no use for them, I kept them because I think they looked kinda cool 😁
The other pic is of 4x 16MB(?) SIMMs which I took from some server that was too heavy to transport, so I stripped all the components out and brought those home.
So what are your strange or otherwise interesting memory modules? Pics or it didn't happen! 😁
