something about them being 1 Meg something or other. That something or

I wonder if they could be an EEPROM like another smaller chip I have.
That one is listed on ebay at the moment as a SEEQ EEPROM. It uses a
similar but smaller IDT chip like this as a controller.
From the looks of the printing, the SEEQ printing was
added later, likely
by SEEQ's machines. I'd guess SEEQ had that chip custom
made for them by
IDT (who again made lots of RAM products at one time).
'Course the chip that really comes to mind for me when I see 'SEEQ' is
their infamous 8005 used for lots of early 10MB/s ethernet controllers.

Maybe these are a 1 Meg EEPROM based on 64K cores? Anyone got a book
out there?
I don't have any IDT books on my shelves, unfortunately. I doubt any of
the other manufacturers books would help any, either. Have you tried
contacting IDT (if they still exist)?
