16 Meg 30-pin SIMMs are still listed at OWC (Item # OWC30PS16MB) for $9.97. If you need 'em, grab 'em while they're available and max out that SE30 or Q950.

Does the Asantefast 10/100 offer similar advantages over motherboard ethernet as it does over the more lowly nubus ethernet cards (i.e., full duplex as well as 25-30mbs)? Click …

My opinion is two things on what you did. 1. Great listing. I wish we could get access to all the models of this type of data to know what to look out for etc when buying old mach…
