At one time IBM was the largest manufacturer of memory and consumed *all* of
it internally (e.g. for IBM products). At the time all of IBM?s ICs were in
the ?aluminum? cans unless they needed more exotic cooling.
In the PS/2 days, we ended up using some IBM produced memory because we could
get a better internal transfer price than buying out in the market because the
various IBM fabs had a bit of excess capacity and wanted it used.

ps2 memory - with weird square silver IBM Circuit packaged memory on
the stick.
What is the story on this? was IBM making it's own memory chips or just
repackaging them into
their silver square packaging?
Now I will have to dig these things out.
