Yeah. The weird SRAMs that the SBC6120 uses are PC
cache chips too, aren't
they? They've become pretty tough to find in recent years. I really like
that they're four bits wide, though, for that application.
Those are wierd... I don't think I ever saw a PC motherboard with
them, but I really kinda skipped from 8088 boards right to the 486. I
think I only had one or two 386s, so there's a gap there for me.
I also have some HP intelligent hex displays, along
the lines of the
TIL-311, I'm sure you've seen them.
Oh, yeah... I got my start back in the COSMAC Elf days. I have many
TIL311s and a few of the HP varieties, too.
Most of them are encapsulated in red
injection-molded plastic, but I have a handful of fairly rare 5082-7359s,
which are hermetically-sealed purple ceramic with a glass cover. They are
absolutely gorgeous.
Sounds like. I don't know that I've ever seen that package.
I'll probably put the board between two
0.25" pieces of lucite.
Sweet.
