Hard to find 3rd party 30 Pin SIMM memory expansion module for Mac Plus and/or SE. made by MacMemory Inc. Cross posted to eBay. Untested. $100

This is from the MacUser September 1986 issue:

Excerpt from MacUser 1988:

"MaxPlus" from MacMemory Inc.
$399
Now you can carry thepower of your MacintoshPlus even further with Max-Plus from Mac Memory Inc.
Expand to 2 megabytes today without modifying your Mac.
And tomorrow you're still free to expand to theMac Plus' full 4-megabyte potential. MaxPlus lets you run huge spreadsheets, data-bases, and memory-hungry programs like [...] room to spare for RAM disks and disk cache utilities. And you can use all your current Mac Plus software and external peripherals without modification."

Regarding Macintosh Plus Upgrades, see:


And here's a list of Memory Upgrade Boards, from MacWorld February 1988 issue, page 144:

Looks like the eBay auction is completed, so this is redundant, but I just wanted to note to a potential buyer that if you actually wanted to use this you'd need a pair of them, not just one.

But who cares, really, when the whole point is just how amazing it looks. That's a big SIMM.

Found out the buyer takes hard to find but in demand cards like these and fabricates working clones. He promised at my request to keep me in the loop on his progress with this one.
 
Odd. I wouldn’t think there’d be much call for such a thing except as an oddity, given I can’t imagine that 64 of those 256kx1 DRAMs would be easier or cheaper to find than 16 1Mbit ones, but, hey, if the demand exists by all means.

I’ve seen “tall” SIMMs like this but never one shaped specifically to fit a particular computer so, sure, it’s definitely ”interesting”.

Back in the day it definitely made economic sense to go the more “urban sprawl” route but, yah, now today not much. Maybe the draw is the unique ascetics.

If the buyer needs more chips I have a bucket of 256kb 30 pin simms with the chips needed to recreate these. Think I had 30-40 simms last I checked, and all tested good.

Even be willing to pull them off to make things easier with my hot air station. Please link the person here, as I would love a couple blank pcbs, to upgrade my mac plus.
