Micron made just such a device (the windowed DRAM). Never owned one, though.
I did, however, have a Cyclops (a 32x32) camera in the 70's, from the
Popular Electronics article from the 70's. Got it built and hooked it up and
saw an image for about 3 seconds before the image sensor died. Never did
figure out why it died, and as a poor high school student couldn't afford to
buy another one. :^(

To put the subject back in the domain of "vintage"...
What outfit first sold digital cameras where the sensor consisted of
a cermet-package DRAM with the chip cover replaced by a piece of
glued-on glass? Does anyone own one?
