That particular card only works in an 8/a chassis so

limited for them. In the 8/a world people want the H219b card since it is
a 16k card.
Yep. Most of the hex-wide core systems I've seen had 1x or 2x H219B.
I sold my hex-wide core back in the 80s and went with MOS.
My grail card is the MMU card for the 128k
semiconductor card. I
dont't remember the part number but the only one I ever saw for sale they
wanted way too much for it.
It's the KT8A. I have one (and 128K of MOS to go with it). It's only
really useful as a RAM disk for OS/8 or if you are one of the very few
people who ran RTS-8 (I built an RTS-8 system back in the day, with a
32K OS/8 "task". I didn't have a "real" purpose for RTS-8, so it
was
all just for learning. You couldn't do two OS/8 tasks, so it wasn't
like you could have two users on the same CPU at the same time).
