They _make_ it. Cue oohs and aahs. Hands up all those who thought it could 
only be done in the USA, Mexico and Japan? (-:

Yes, I pretty much guarantee it. From their Nov2001 XL spreadsheet - thanks, 
Gnumeric - prices include GST but not freight:

LaserJet 4MV							 	
 12MB S  44MB	2 4MB Module	JRAM-04C  C3132A  26.30
		  8MB Module	JRAM-08C  C3133A  46.10
		  16MB Module	JRAM-16C  C2217A  40.00

http://www.eigerlabs.com.au/ - go for broke on those 16MB modules, they 
seem to be cheaper than the 8s. (-:
