I thought maybe we could use an interesting auction thread. List those weird things you find. =)
First up, the hard way to add 4MB to your X68. (http://page13.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/r70034410) What was the deal, someone had a stack of surplus 256kB SIMMs? Kinda nutty if you ask me. =)
Hi Lawrence,
I am tempted to upgrade memory for my ACE-HD. I currently have 2MB installed. What would be the best way to add more ?

It kind of depends on your existing configuration. My XVI has 2MB onboard, a 2MB SIMM expansion board, and a 10MB card in the I/O slot. Your ACE has 1MB standard (http://nfggames.com/games/x68k/), how's the extra 1MB installed?
Right now I have a PIO-6834-1M expansion card by I.O DATA fitted in my X68000

Probably your only option then is a card for one of your I/O slots in the back. There are many available, from simple RAM cards to SIMM-using boards to dual-purpose RAM+co-pro boards like the KGB-PRK.
[EDIT] Here's 4MB (http://page7.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/g96178039) that'll work for you.
Thanks for the info. I have a sweet idea. We could collaboratively make a page with info about various X68000 hardware and pictures. Kind of like big book of Amiga hardware. Check it out: http://www.amiga-hardware.com/ (http://www.amiga-hardware.com/)
