Yup, plain old heat death....  :-)

(I need a finer tip for my soldering iron too before I can fix them.)

(one of my colleagues has another that's still in running condition,
with lots of RAM in it too, and I should probably ask him if he's ever
going to be using it again....)

Indeed!  :-)

64MB supposedly makes a Multia into nice diskless workstation w/NetBSD.....

My CMD CRD-5500 RAID controllers needed the RAM more than the Multias  :-)
They could even use more (or a _lot_ more even).

If anyone has any decent-sized standard 70ns JEDEC 72-pin 36-bit SIMMs,
I will consider all offers, but like I said I have little or no budget.  :-)
