Don't throw it out, throw it this way please!

[Wacker]

As some of you are already aware I recently aquired an old Toshiba laptop (T2130CS) 486DX4 75MHz processor and a masive 500meg hard drive, this is running win 95 and the plan is to kick it "up'to'date" all the way to win 98!
The problem is the old girl only has 8meg of ram and it needs 16 meg or more to cope with the punnishing demands I intend to make.
So question is, does anybody have a spare small outline SIMM upto 24meg that they were about to throw out and could instead post to me ?
Thank's wacker

I thought it was a bit of a long shot, but worth a try !

HM the batery won't take a charge so that combined with a bicycle dynamo probably would power it but how much sunflower seed does it consume when running at full steam ?

if you want to overclock the CPU, you can add some sugar to the sunflower seed for extra energy

AH then I would have to add water cooling, as standard bottle dripper would not be up to the increased demands

Well now......I have some old stuff lying around. Is it laptop style memory ie half the length of a PC simm? Or is it half the height of a normal PC simm but just as long.

I got both....let me know what you need.

Thank's NEIL
Its short in the length comaperd to normal (desktop) memory, PM sent

Well folks its back to the hunt for memory!
Unfortunatly the memory that NeilB kindly sent was slightly to long to fit in the memory slot i think it is dimms and the slot only takes simms.
So if any one else has a spare memory simm (small outline) going spare.
cheers wack

According to t'internet, you can install a maximum of 32MB on top of the 8MB on-board, and it's 72 pin SODIMM.
Info here - Toshiba T2130CS Memory
A few on eBay, but only from the US, and only one company do 32MB strips:
