Last weekend in Albuquerque, I bought a junked Gateway "386" computer,
made in 1990, to get its power supply.
I salvaged screws, etc, and also four 30-pin SIMMs from its motherboard.
QUESTION: I have a QRAM (Pacemark) 4 meg RAM card for IIgs, that takes
one meg SIMMs. Could these simms from the Gateway 2000 be installed in
that card?
I am uncertain of compatibility. The A2/Mac one meg 30-pin SIMMs each
have 8 cips on the simm, but these from Gateway 386 have NINE chips.
Would anything be damaged if they were installed in QRAM and tried? I
dont mind if the QRAM failed to recognize the memory beyond 4 megs, but
dont want to try if it will zap my ram card or IIgs.
Also, I salvaged three huge INTEL processors from the Gateway. One says
386-33; another says 386-DL.
Can I resell these on the IBM net? To avoid appearing as a fool, what is
the likely value of the three chip 386 set? Pins are all in excellent
condition.
Please reply to the net and also to my e-mail account buggie@unm.edu
because I can print only from e-mail.

P.S. I expect to have e-mail almost daily this week. I whined to the
dean about e-mail cutoff during the college intersession, and they have
opened the computer room for 2 hours each day Mon-Thurs.
