The vendor was Simple Technology Canada in Toronto. Their phone number is (905) 238-3300, and the product number is STM-TP365/16. The only drawback is that they do not deal with "end users" directly, so I had to deal with my local Future Shop store. However, they were very prompt, and shipped the package overnight via FedEx to the Future Shop store here in Ottawa. The Future Shop did not mark up the price either (quite surprising!). The memory has worked without a hitch, and Simple Technologies has a lifetime warranty and a compatibility warranty on their memory products. It would probably be worth checking with Simple Technologies in the US. Their website is at www.simpletech.com. I would expect that their price is comparable to what I paid here in Canada. You will have to determine whether the 365ED SO-DIMM works in the 701C -- I believe the 365ED uses non-parity memory, not sure about the 701C. If the memory is not compatible, they likely have a different model for the 701C. Does anyone make a 32MB SO-DIMM? I was under the impression that 16MB was the largest size available.
