The IBM mainframe memory add ons I was familiar with were from Itel rather than Intel. I
don?t see how intel could have had semi memory for mainframes in the early 1970s.

Intel Memory Systems was very big in the early-mod 1970s. The reason
was pretty simple--they offered add-on memory for IBM S/370 and other
vendors cheaper than the OEMs could.
