My old Blizzard IV (donated to a friend) has a double-sided 8MB simm on it,
which used to live on the SCSI card, which now (IIRC) has a 32MB simm on
it, also double sided.

I'm wondering where the single-sided myth came from now, I know some cards
physically couldn't take ds ones, but it seems that the Blizzard (which has
to be easily the most popular) doesn't have a great problem with ds ones.

BTW, your local PC dealer is a little expensive, 32MB simms are around the
30UKP mark near here, 128MB dimms are 119UKP ;-)
