Funny, I bought some Clearpoint ones months ago thru a third party - work good.

One thing you might want to keep in mind is that, unlike Sun or Mac SIMM's,
the one for the DS3100 are a custom design, rather than being stock memory

bother DEC and it's nothing compared to the pain of VAX6000/DS58XX XMI
memory boards...
