I'd be willing to trade provided the 8-meg 72-pin simm was fairly low
profile as it needs to fit into a tight space.  My simms unfortunately
fit right underneath my power supply and there isn't a whole lot of
room to play with, maybe only an inch or so.  I've got on 8-meg 72-pin
simm there already, I believe it's double sided with 4 chips, it fits
nicely.  If you've got anything like this I'd be more than happy to
trade!
