I probably still have a bunch of these--they were

when we got some "real" 16K DRAMs, I got to keep the '09s. Curiously
most of the 09s worked just fine in full 16K mode and passed every
diagnostic I could throw at them. So calling them "bad" was perhaps
a little misleading. It could well have been that half the chip
didn't meet specs.
Let's not do like Gibson/Spinrite.
Perhaps the manufacturer had some test for the chips that was more
rigorous than what we have. If they say that their product is bad, I'll
believe them, even if it "tests good" most of the time.
