We've recently been given an old Packard Bell PC (circa 1990). It
currently has 4 * 1 Mb SIMMS, the old 30 pin kind, with 16 slots in
total on the motherboard. To make it really useful, we'd like another
4 Mb. Unfortunately we have no documentation on the PC at all, so I'm
not sure if we require parity SIMMS, or non-parity SIMMS, or whether
it matters. I also don't know if I can use anything other than the 1Mb
variety. I'm not too concerned about SIMM speeds. Does anyone have any
30 pin 1Mb SIMMS to offer (or indeed any information on old Packard
Bell PCs)? I'm not sure about the going rate for these things
nowadays, but I'm hoping people are practically giving them
away... Any information or offers gratefully received.

Thanks a lot,
Graham
