	Hello,

	I have several VSIMM modules (mainly 4MB, but if I remember, I should
have a 8MB also) from SS20, but these modules are in my SparcStation's
old stock and this material is located in Paris. Problem, I leave today
far away. If you can wait, I can test them the next time I will go to Paris.

	Best regards,
