Yesterday, I noticed that Haltek has unmounted, surface-mount 1-Mbit
DRAMs, for about $9 each (100 ns are slightly more expensive than 120ns).
If you could get the SIMM boards and were a careful solderer, you could
make 1-Meg SIMMs for about $80!  Anybody know where I can get the SIMM
boards?  BTW, the DRAM chips were of Toshiba manufacture (i.e., presumably
good quality).
