I think this is of primary interest to Blizzard 060 users. 32 mb simms are
usually double sided, (too big for the board unless you start using
cable-ties) or of a configuration where the Amiga will only see
half the memory. This is why Power have been successfully selling slim 32
mb simms for over 80 quid. Perhaps that'll change now.

                  All the best,
                        Angus Manwaring.       (for e-mail remove ANTISPEM)
