Thanks to all who replied.

I have learned that SIMMS for Sparc Station 2 are on the market (though some
distributors swapped them from their catalogues). Some distributors are

www.memoryx.com (USA)
www.solarsystems.com
www.kingston.com
www.inmartech.com
www.eli.com
www.gcw.com
www.nasi.com
www.workstationusers.com
www.mce.com
www.wdpi.com
www.cpacinc.com/sun
www.inmartech.com
www.anything4sun.com
www.transtec.de (Germany)

Others told me that normal 4x9 parity simms (30 pin) from a local PC shop will
also work.

Lastly I learned that the Sparc 2 does only work with 4 MB simms. 16 Slots in
4 banks are available, thus a maximum of 64 MB is possible.
Solaris 2.6 (even with CDE) runs with less than 64 MB but to my knowledge this
value is the recommended minimum.

original question:

> Hello,

> we have some old Sparc Stations 2 (controlling expensive measuring instruments
> like a raster elektron microprobe) which should be updated to Solaris 2.6.
> Unfortunatly this machines only have 16 MB of RAM which is not sufficient for
> Solaris 2.6. Memory for Sparc 2 seems to be unavailable from the usual

> Does someone know a source for those Memory (refurbished is also ok)?
> We need at least 18 16 MB Modules.
