Hi all --
I have a pair of core memory boards (which look to be 8kilobytes +
parity) in my Imlac, made by Dataram in the early 1970s (based on
datecodes in the machine, I'd say late 1973, early 1974). I can find no
documentation on them. They're labeled Imlac on the main PCB (P/N
01-12880-1), but Dataram on the core plane, and interestingly, this Blog
post on Dataram's site:

Has a very grainy picture of the assembly -- see the photo here:

So I believe the whole assembly (PCB + core plane) was actually made by
Dataram. I have some high-res scans up at:

(See the last two images in the album.)
I'd love to find schematics for this, as it's the only part of the
system I do not have documentation for (and it's going to need some
repair, as it's got some fairly serious moisture damage -- some of the
ICs are weathered enough that they're unreadable). I'm going to shoot a
mail off to Dataram as well, but I figure my odds there are pretty low.
Thanks as always,
Josh
