Well every body, please accept my excuses for this stupid thing...

My salesman told me this when I was excited to bring this new 16M SIMM at home.
After your post and a little bit of thinking... I admit that this not sound so very
practicle.

I must admit that I don't have any trouble with those SIMM anyway, and I am now
testing it at 0 WAIT STATE without trouble...
Again, excuse my old advice and please forget it!!!!
