Well, definitely for the Courier HST--one 32040 in DIP and one 32025
in PLCC and the Rockwell TR14 modem board.
I've got the Courier V.34 and V.Everything, but never had them open.
The HST was opened to go through a do-it-yourself upgrade. USR sent
you a new SRAM (upgrade to 62256 form 6264 and a new EPROM--you
peeled off the feet and opened the thing up and did the changes
yourself. But they wanted the old SRAM and EPROM back, and would
call if they hadn't received them in a couple of weeks.
By the time they were upgrading V.34 owners to V.Everything, they
didn't even want your old modem. All in all, very nice people in the
pre-3Com days.

The 80186/188
and all of its variations (80C..., EB, EC. etc.)
lasted well into the late 1990s and beyond. ?If you owned a USR
Courier modem, you had an 80188 in the box, for example.
And dual TMS32025s (for some of the early ones).
