[G4] Wanted: parts for G4 DP500

Hi again, all...

	I managed to procure a Radeon 9200 for my G4 DP500.  Brian Deuel,
thanks for the tips on flashing it.  I haven't actually finished modding
it to work (I still need to tape up pins 3 & 11, which is quite the PITA
to do!), but hopefully will not have any problems.

	I have been unable to find any additional PC100/PC133 RAM yet,
though.  So, I figured I'd renew my plea: if anyone has any spare
256MB or 512MB PC100/PC133 DIMMs laying around and doesn't need them,
please let me know.  (256MB is the minimum useful size since I'm stocked
with 128MB sticks.)

	I'm also still on the lookout for a Mac-compatible
PCI33-compatible SATA card, so I can build an internal RAID.  I could
probably use an ATA100/ATA133 card instead, if anyone has one of those,
though I guess that would require setting various jumpers on the drives.

Thanks in advance for anything. =)
