Oh, and a thing I meant to mention a year ago... I've used two of the 128MB SIMMs in a SIMM doubler to take the Q605 up to 260 MB of RAM. I'm not quite sure how that works, as I wouldn't have expected there to me enough RAS lines in the Q605. One of these days I'll dig out the SIMM doubler again and trace it's circuitry.
I'd be VERY interested to know about this... Not sure how it's possible, but I'd love to know more.

I have lots of 128 meg SIMMs in various Quadra 605s, two in an Amiga 1200, and in various Cobalt Raq 2 machines. If anyone wants a SIMM which will definitely work in a Quadra 605, just shop around for a 128 meg SIMM for a Cobalt Raq 2. Most of them are thin, too, so you won't have to trim the heat sink very much (if you have one).

Here's a (non-Cobalt) 128 meg SIMM in one of my Q605s:
