I didn't find anybody in Australia with suitable adaptor. 
You can try http://www.ultraspec.com/, they have a nice adaptor only $36
US, but they wanted $50 for shipping to Australia (wasn't worth it for
one).

I end up making my own adaptor :), as did some others. I have placed some
loose details at http://www.fit.qut.edu.au/~nickolas/Monitor/Monitor.html

The company http://www.memoryx.com looked like an interesting place to
try. They are sell the ram for:
                                   Sun Equiv P/N 1-10pcs  10pcs+  100pcs+
              4mb 80ns simm           501-1739    $10        $9     $8

But with the Aussie dollar taking a nose drive, it doesn't look like a
good time to buy. Since they can be bought new for $25 each locally.

Should that be a Special Interest Group for Humbug meetings ?
