Now I want to start a discussion on the timeline of
when memory
became?"onboard"/integrated for some reason?I'm curious as to who tried
it first. ;)
I asusme that you mean that there is a single PCB containing the
proceessor and memory.
For PDP11s, I would guess the first was the original LSI11. It had 4K
(IIRC) of RAM o nthe processor board. All older PDP11s weren't even
single-board processors.
For other machines, I would guess one of the microprocessor evaluation
boards was the first to hae the CPU chip and memroy on one PCB.
