walter_J64bit Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 What did Atari use for their OEM 30 pin simm in the STE's was it IBM, Intel or was it Kingston memory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Probably whatever they could get cheaply at the time, so it might have changed by the month. Supposedly the earliest STEs had soldered in SIPP types, then moved to the SIMMs that slot in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynxman Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I found always Siemens chips soldered on the Atari Simm-PCBs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

galax Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) Supposedly the earliest STEs had soldered in SIPP types, then moved to the SIMMs that slot in. Some of the early STEs did indeed have these. The motherboard had markings to show where the SIMM slot should go, and the shielding had a piece missing to allow access to the SIMMs, but the SIPPs (looks like a regular SIMM but with pins sticking out) were just soldered straight in there.
