Memory upgrades

[KILLINFO@aol.com]

Greetings loopsters,

I have a technical question for the Oberheim-EDP savy among us. 

I have just taken delivery of a spankin' new pair of Obies and want to
upgrade to the maximum amount of memory ASAP before I enshrine them in my
rack. The mannual says it'll take either Mac or PC 30-pin SIMMs. Other
"reliable" sources have told me that only Mac compatible SIMMS will do. 
Which
is it?

I have been looking around for the best prices on RAM. Some of the best 
deals
I've found come from independent computer techs. These guys offer a 
dizzying
array of stuff, and spout all sorts of unfamiliar terms like: parity or
non-parity, mag+BP 4x3-6, 9 chip 4x9-7, etc, etc, etc. 

Being a Mac-only kind of guy (and usually buying only from the normal
"MacMall" type catalogs) it's a new, and to be quite honest, kinda 
confusing
area for me. To get the best price, I'm inclined to go with one of these 
guys
(who happens to be a friend of a friend). But, I know that if I order 
wrong,
it's unlikely that he'll let me return it (30-pin SIMMs are becoming passe 
I
guess). Is there anybody out there who knows the EDP and is also SIMM savy
enough to help me sort this out authoratively?

Thanks loads
Ted Killian
