I wonder why they went with that part? I seem to remember some others that
used it as well, though specifics are not coming to mind at the moment. I
have a bunch of those on hand, and think about doing something with them
from time to time. It's a fairly easy chip to use,
with an eprom and a ram
chip and a single address latch, I just haven't
decided yet what I'm gonna
do with it.
