could you be refrring to the famous 72 pin RAM. 36*2=72, so count
pins both sides.
OTOH googling shows them as SIMMS not DIMMS, so I wonder if maybe the
pins were only on one side.
I remember 72 pin EDO RAM. Around 1995 maybe. P60,P100,P120,P133
e.t.c. days.
There is 72 pin EDO RAM on ebay. |

Same post (with slightly changed Subject) posted all of 1 minute later
than your second post and all of 1 minute later than your first post.
Time to see a doctor since you have an extreme AADS. >> Stay informed about: I need some 36 pin ram to upgrade an old computer but can'.. |

Had you asked once, I would have helped, but turning on my newsgroup and
finding the same message 3 times immediately gets everyone's back up! >> Stay informed about: I need some 36 pin ram to upgrade an old computer but can'.. |

Yes...I agree !
I was just about to send the guy all of my old 36 pin RAM...
That old stuff that most of us will remember was made with ***GOLD***
and worth hundreds of dollars.
Heck I had it all boxed up and was just about to mail it to the guy...
but then saw that he posted ***3 times***.
Sheesh. Even though the value of the GOLD itself was worth maybe $500 or
so...
I was so upset I gave it all to the local alchemist...who just turned it all
back into lead.
It's bullets and batteries now. >> Stay informed about: I need some 36 pin ram to upgrade an old computer but can'.. |

The 72 pin SIMMs have 72 contacts on each side for a total
of 144 contacts. The corresponding contact positions on
each side are connected together. This also applied to the
30 pin SIMMs which had to be installed in pairs to provide
60 connections for the power, address, data, and control lines. >> Stay informed about: I need some 36 pin ram to upgrade an old computer but can'.. |

Yes you are right! Thinking back I don't know how I was
thinking only 72 as they're much too small for there to be
only 36 per side. >> Stay informed about: I need some 36 pin ram to upgrade an old computer but can'.. |

I have to admit that I had the advantage of physically
handling one to refresh my memory before I replied to
your post. I didn't have to count the pins as pins 1
and 72 were numbered on each side of the module. >> Stay informed about: I need some 36 pin ram to upgrade an old computer but can'.. |
