I think you're right. But I'd still like to know what these are. I'm
beginning to wonder if they might be "house marked" Fairchild parts given
the odd numbering. If so I'll probably never figure out what they are.
That's
possible however they are definitely in sockets that are supposed
to have 1101s. BELIEVE IT! I have four complete baords and I pulled parts
from about 12 more so I'm CERTAIN that these sockets are supposed to
contain RAM. I'm not saying that these parts are RAM but I'd be rather
OK, forget my speculating, I didn't realise you knew that 1101/RAM was
FWIW, there is an article about state-of-the-art memories, and in which
the Intel
1101 is described, in "Electronics World" magazine from October
1970 (by Robert Noyce, of Fairchild/Intel/planar IC fame).
Interesting. I wonder if my local libraries microfiche goes back that far.
