Um, maybe. I'll have to check. It was a common usage

For the whole system memory, or just a protected area?
Some earlyish
SBC's have "flash" storgage capability, RE
Robot/Vesta
OEM-188, but that's something different I
take it
(like eeprom?).
Is it DiskOnChip(tm)? Many SBCs can take those,
both early and
modern. I have a small pile of them somewhere. I'm curious about this pile :). Curious as to
manufacturers, models, specs, etc. In particular the
*early* ones :).
Well the DiskOnChip chips I have aren't particularly early, I'm
afraid...they were purchased new from a distributor a couple of years
ago. I will try to find them.
Rock on you mad tinkerer you!
Well to be fair, it's Chuck's hardware design, and his
software...all I did was build a copy of it. I'm hoping to take it a
step or two further in the near future, but everything I've done with
this up to now is build what he designed. And I used a very tiny PC. :)
