or TFTP (or MOP)....

I've got a whole bunch of the 8-port 90TL units, plus a 900TM (32-port),
but they're all on my pair of DEChub 900MS backplanes.  I'd love to get
a couple of the Multi-Stack adapters with the power-brick so I could put
some of the 8-port units in other locations....

I also need more memory for the 8-port jobs though.  The only load image
I have for them requires 4MB RAM and I only found one 4MB SIMM that has
the proper configuration to work with them (so that's my console server
right now).

They take 4MB (1MBx36) 72-pin SIMMs:

        Digital part number:    4A-MS40-WB A01
                replaced by:    20-41141-05

        description:            SIMM 1 QUAD CAS 9 CHIPS 80 NS

If anyone has any available that match I'd love to hear from you!  :-)

Once upon a time I did a bunch of searching and found that the SAMSUNG
"KMM5361000B2G-8 9347 SEC" will also work.


I'm also looking for a flash-memory card for my 900TM so that I can use
it as a console server too and not have the chicken&egg problem with the
server it would have to boot from.  I'm told I need a:

	Mitsubishi MELCARD MF82M1-GBDAT01 2Mbyte

(I could also use a slightly newer load image for the 900TM  ;-)
