I haven't checked international shipping rates, but if I took four
32 MB 70NS parity SIMMs for the "web price" ($ 8 per SIMM) without
having to wait a month (3-4 weeks), I'd have to pay a hefty sum of
$ 66...  (Without even taking possible import duties taken into
consideration.)  In other words, that's a lot more than I paid for
the entire Multia and the accessories, about four times as much.

Even if I made that investment, I'm still not sure if it's all going
to work; like with the floppy diskette error in the SRM.  (That's the
main problem and dilemma for now.)
