Speaking of which, I discovered that I've got a
bunch of InMOS 16Kx1
static RAMs (IMS1400S55) in gold-capped ceramic packages. Are they
used in any vintage equipment or are they better used as fodder for
the scrappers?
ISTR a Sun 3-something that used those SRAMs in some way. Cache,
maybe? Possibly a Sun 3-110? The ones I saw weren't gold-capped
ceramic parts, though, just ordinary plastic DIPs.
I have an Oric Atmos fitted with INMOS 2600 DRAMs -- "support your
local chip shop" as the T-shirt used to say!
