According to the latest information that I received, here are the latest
estimate of shipping delays on Apple memory products:
1MB Memory expansion kit (4x256k) 17 weeks
2MB Memory expansion kit (2x1M) 37 weeks
4MB Memory expansion kit (4x1M) Not currently shipping
I would assume that the "not shipping" message means not yet available.
