No, I mean SRAM (62xx type) for the external Couriers
that used the
80188. I recall sending back the EPROM (I figured that was important
because it contained USR software) but got a letter demanding the
SRAM back also. My reaction was "Why? You're not really going to
put a pull in a new product are you?" Very very strange.
I would bet it was for some sort of verification. USR was such a nice
guy company in the early years that a large number of people came up
with schemes to scam them. Many worked. USR started to get a little
over cautious, sometimes doing things that made no sense on the
surface, but some of the plans proved to be wise. Maybe this was one
of them.
