I did a search on google.com for "simms 30-pin buy", and came up with 537
matches. The first one, http://amtiinc.com/30_pin_simms.htm, has the
following listed:

	Description			Prices

	1MB SIMM FPM w/parity		5.75
	1MB SIMM FPM w/o parity		5.00
	4MB SIMM FPM w/parity		16.75
	4MB SIMM FPM w/o parity		14.50
	16MB SIMM w/parity		28.75
	16 MB SIMM w/o parity		27.50
