Do DIMM adapters exist?

[ex inferis]

Remember back when 72pin SIMMs were mostly used? There were SIMM adapters that allowed you to attach several SIMMs to one of these adapters to increase your memory capacity and to decrease the used SIMMs slots. Do these exist for 168pin DIMMs? I am primarily interested in these for 66mhz bus speeds but it would also be helpfull for 100mhz buses also. I am doubtful they exist for 100mhz buses because of tolerences. It seems possible with 66Mhz buses since its the same speed that SIMMs operates at.

I've never seen them, so i don't think so.

DIMMs don't work that way.

I recall them... they were called "SIMM-verters" or soemthing like that... I have not seen, nor can find ANYTHING on them anymore...

If you do let me know!

These were more a throw-back to the days when memory was $10/MB, and throwing away your memory would be so expensive that it would be worth paying $30-$50 for one of these converters.

Now, as memory is so cheap, and memory technology has increased in speed, they don't really seem a good buy
