Cheap 32MB DRAM cards for TP755/750/360, etc

Disclaimer - I'm not related to the seller, other than a satisfied customer. I picked up 5 of these recently (one at a the ebay price, four substantially cheaper along with a bunch of things for my vintage Sun workstations).

Just thought I'd pass it along, as 20 bucks for a 32MB DRAM card for our vintage machines is cheap. I couldn't get it to work in a 510CS (although it recognized all 36MB at first), but it works great in my 755 and 360 machines.

I actually saw those the other day (I have a search set in ebay with some keywords that picked it up) and was wondering if I should get one... I have two 755CX, but those already have 32MB cards in them, and a 755CD with a 16MB card (total 24MB). It may be worth it for the 755CD.
Current Thinkpad collection: 755CX x2 and 755CE (with a Dock II 3546); 380ED; 380XD with port replicator; 770Z with SelectaDock III; 570 with UltraBase; R52 with advanced dock.
Former members, no longer alive: 760ED.

It would be, given that everyone selling the Kingston 32MB cards want almost 60 bucks apiece. I got lucky in the past and found some from random sellers for under 5-10 bucks, but these cards all worked good for me.

Correction to anyone interested in those cards. I'm guessing they're non-parity, because they only work on my 360 series machines. I cannot get them to work on my 755C/Cx, although it returns a 201 error and acts as if the card isn't there.
