32 Mb FPM chips would be very hard to find I expect.I have a few 32Mb EDO's but 32
fast page are very rare. In the days of fast page 32 Mb RAM chips cost nearly as
much as a house, so only big RAM servers would have had 32's. I have seen a few of
the old P66 and P90 State Government servers with 64 Mb RAM but rarely see 32 Mb
fast page...4 or 6 32's from that vintage was a really serious server. I can still
remember paying around $100 per meg for RAM so a 32 in those days was worth
thousands. Actually I can remember buying 2 kb (yes that is a K not an M) in the
old Z80 days when you bought your 16 Kb expansion as 8 x 2 kb chips for about $50
at Dick Smith's.
