I recall that the IBM 650 had an upgrade option where

The Z22 had a very small area of core memory, called "fast memory"
(Schnellspeicher).
And then we have boards out of an LGP-21 (that we still lack in our
collection) that replaced the on-disc registers with semiconductor shift
registers. I don't really know why they did that.
