Me neither, and I need some 2MB 30-pin SIMMs for an old 386-based machine.
It's got 8x 1MB SIMMs fitted now, $DEITY knows how much it can take in
total, I'm guessing around 16MB. What I'd like to know is why it's reporting
8064K of RAM when it's got 8192K (8MB) fitted... I'm guessing the chipset is
stealing some system RAM for a CPU cache or something.

I've got one of those. A YE-DATA open-frame (no metal covers) drive out of
an old Packard Bell Legend 386.
Has anyone got an ISA slot riser card that plugs into an ISA slot and
provides three or more horizontal slots instead of one vertical slot?

Can you rework 8-layer PC motherboards then? <g>
Later.
