I've seen at least three annoucements in the last month for 3rd party memory for the DECstation 3100. Go dig up your favorite trade rag... At least one was significantly cheaper than our current price. Then go to your DEC salesman and beat him up on general principles (we lose enough salesmen, we lower memory prices; its a bit hard on the salesmen, however). The SIMMS in the DECstation are not compatible with any others on other machines; "standard" SIMMS would not have been fast enough for the machine, it turned out. Each SIMM holds 2 megabytes, but they must be used in pairs, due to the organization (ergo the 4 meg. size of upgrades). - Jim
