Nik, thanks for answering, but the fact that you thought you could buy some Simm in the past (when?) doesn't seem a solution right now. Actually finding a Simm 30 pin 4Mb on Ebay (.it., .com or even .co.uk) or everywhere looks like a pretty big problem: especially if I don't know exactly what to buy. The problem, again, is: does anybody here knows if a certain speed is a must? The manual asserts that 120ns of speed is a necessary condition. The LD's EDP faq says speed is not a problem. The very few Simm I saw on sale in the last two weeks on the web are all 60 or 70 ns. Try to figure how *disappointing* would be buying something (with overseas shipping costs) and finding out it's not right (if working...). The other question is: does anybody knows what happens if I mount a Simm over 4 Mb (8 or 16) in case I find some second hand pieces with no indication and I need to mount them for testing purpose? Could the simm be damaged? Would the EDP disappear? thanks again to you all for any significant clue Bruno > Hmmm.... > When I was looking to buy my EDP+ I checked out the availability of > the correct SIMMs on Ebay (I'm in the UK) and found loads, and > cheap enough that I could buy a few from different sellers to cover > myself.
