RAM Bonanza!

Since I now have a working, easily-accessible-RAM-slots 72-pin Mac up and running (well, I *DID*, see my "CC2 stopped booting" thread...) and a 30-pin system up and running, I decided to test all my RAM.  Also looked up the part numbers on modules I couldn't test.

Found my twelve 16 MB 30-pin SIMMs, decided to split them up between my SE/30, IIci, and Quadra 950.

Twenty four 4 MB 30-pin, four 2 MB, and a couple dozen 1 MB.  (Not going to both counting them all.)

My 32 MB 72-pin SIMMs must be in a system in storage; I know I have some, but they're not in my "RAM drawer."

Have plenty of 16 MB 72-pin SIMMs, though.  (20 of the buggers!)

Fifteen 8 MB 72-pin, fourteen 4 MB, and one lonely 2 MB.

Sixteen 1 MB 64-pin (IIfx) SIMMs.  :-/   And I seem to recall my IIfx only has 8 MB of RAM in it now. Would be nice to have at least a set of 2 MB or even 4 MB SIMMs for it!

Two 512k 68-pin VRAM SIMMs. Two 1 MB 122-pin VRAM DIMMs. One 4 MB SGRAM DIMM (for original iMac.)

Two spare SE/30 ROM SIMMs.

Found my NuBus card "bucket" - a couple Macintosh II Display Cards, a couple Display Card 8*24 (well, one's a 4*8 with the RAM upgrade,) a few NuBus Ethernet cards; and a few LC PDS Ethernet cards, too. Plus a spare SE/30 / IIsi Ethernet card.

yes, i have made the same thing not so long ago, discovering that very few if not any were bad.

Also discovered that among the ones i had (thinking all of them were 30-pin / 1Mb) some were also 2 Mb and 4 Mb...
