The A6 intruders during the Veitnam era were serial based on
a fixed disk. It was part of the nav and targeting system and
not fly by wire.

I recently had a memory unit for an EA-6. It used core memory. It SN 001 and the ICs dated from 1966 if I remember right.
Of course, there
was probably more than memory in the EA-6. I sold the unit but I can dig
out the description and pictures if anyone's interested.
EA-6 is later and used updated hardware.
I've got a Lantirn targeting computer right now
but I haven't opened
it
up yet to see what's inside. I've also got a
largeish aircraft
navigation
computer but I don't know what it came out of and I
haven't opened it up
yet either.
Interesting, some were generally known machines majorly repackaged
or standard hardware special boxes.
