My company bought a Calcomp Techjet 5336 A0 colour plotter,  only to discover
that ordinary 72pin SIMMs fit but don't work.  Calcomp say I must buy their
72pin SIMMs which have been specially modified to work.  Only problem is that
they charge more than DOUBLE for their memory. 

		WHAT A RIP-OFF

Obviously Calcomp have deliberately designed their printer to detect
non-Calcomp SIMMs,  so they can rip people off with stupid prices.

Does any one know what the difference is between Calcomp 72pin SIMMs and
ordinary 72pin SIMMs.  I'm an electronic engineer so feel free to be technical.
