I think my Blizz060 has the single sided one onboard, the 32Mb ds one is on
the SCSI card. For the price difference involved, if it's a case of paying
80UKP for a 32Mb single sided, it is probably beneficial to buy a SCSI card
and put a bog standard 32MB EDO ds simm on that. Total cost would probably
go over 80UKP, but you get a SCSI card thrown in.
