Lines: 15 The LA Times had an article last week about the high cost/unavailability of 256K DRAMS. They quoted lots of people from a number of computer companies, and nobody suggested that there was any connection between this shortage and any government action. Their contention was that nobody was making any 256K's, having switched to producing 1meg DRAMS. The 1 meggers are supposed to catch up to demand by late '88/early'89. There is no reason to believe that there will ever be any appreciable number of 256K chips available. -Ralph Stempel UUCP: {hplabs!hp-sdd!crash, cadovax}!gryphon!pnet02!mook INET: mook@pnet02.cts.com
