I have a later DEC logic handbook but it is not there....
somewhere I have the master modules list... indeed the secret pile of
paper the DEC service folk had.... perhaps we need to ocr this when we
re-find it and put it online? has anyone else done a ocr of this?

Subject: Re: DEC M750 flipchip?
that
Does the lack of replies really mean no-one knows
what an M750 "Line I/O
Control" is for?
Sticking my neck out a bit, I thinks that may be a "yes". :)
A part of me is beginning to wonder if they're even -8 related, or if
they just happened to be with the stuff you got. If I had DEC Logic
Handbooks for years _other_ than 1969, and for products _other_ than
the -8 series, I'd try looking them up elsewhere - maybe they're
related to the PDP-10s, -9s, -15s or somesuch. Is there someone with
a better DEC library who can take a look?...
Do they have ICs on them, or transistors and diodes and whatnot? That
might be a way to narrow down the dating. (I don't suppose by some
miracle any of them have a manufacturing year marked?...)
> Does that also mean no-one wants any :-)? I have pretty much decided whatever they
are, I am not likely to need them.
<smirk!> Oh, I'm sure we _all_ want them. God knows what for, but
they must be useful for _some_thing. :) :)

eight or ten years from now, with eBay prices reaching
