I'm just finding out that the Type 1027 Print DIMM was discontinued March 31st.
Did anyone get notification of this?
On a seperate but related note...Ricoh has introduced a Print/Scan Kit for the 1022/1027 and the 1035/1045 that includes NIC and 64MB Memory but no reduction in cost from the items purchased seperately. Purchasing the items seperately will eventually not be an option. I get the impression that this is Ricoh's way to force memory at Ricoh's $300 price and eliminate $25 3rd party memory option.
The combination of these two factors has just raised the cost of a 1022 with print only about $800!!!
There is a promotion going until April 30th that temporarily lowers the cost on some items but that doesn't help on GSA/GEM and DMAP.
