Write your reply.

assistant: Hi Jeffrey,
 The extra Simm I guess needs to be a 3 chip 70ns. The set that it
 will fill in with is 5 3 chip and 2 9 chip, seems to work if I put
 the 9 chip ones in last. If you have extra 3 chip would you be willing
 to swap my 2 9 chip 70ns + $ for 2 3 chip 70ns if so, how much ? and
 hold the other until I get the 9 chip ones out to you, so it only
 takes one mailing. The money order went out the 17th on a 32cent stamp.
 If Either is going to come with 8 megs the 4 30 pin with those full
 and 2 72 pin with 1 4 meg chip and one slot open to expand would be
 great.
 Thanks,
 Richard
