You said a mouthful there! An outfit here in the US just sold me (2)
4Mx32 SIMMs with (4) 8-in XOR (or is it XNOR?) gates as "x36" devices. I
paid with a charge card, so they either make it right or take them back at
their expense. Still, it's a drag and a waste of time. No reputable
business has a right to sell such things as 36-bit wide memory.
