·· Are there prototyping sockets available for DIMM or SIMM memory modules?

    There is an Aussie that sells the older ones because he created a PIC programmer and prototype system that uses them.

    I believe it is Dontronics. I really wonder if you want to try to inferface the new DRAM modules as they have a ton of wires to mutiplex. The older ones are doable with an SX48/52 protoboard. This is all about having enough address lines to get the refresh sustained.

    · Thanks for your reply. I don't have any immediate need for this, but I was thinking about getting an FPGA board to experiment with and if that went well I would probably want to eventually equip it with DRAM. I was hoping to find a wire wrap socket or something else easy, as I'm pretty much just a solderless breadboard person. For the moment I think I will stick to just exploring the Quartus software until I come up with something interesting.
