Actually, there was a DIPP package for many of the DRAMs. It was a
single-in-line-looking version of the DIP, except that all the pins were on
one side and they were staggered in their alignment. These were most often
referred to as ZIP's, though I don't know why. The package was somewhat
popular for about 5 years, after which it fell into disuse.

A DIPP is another name for SIPP by morons (Like myself) who momentarily
forgot that SIPP was the correct name.
Anyone have any small 1Mb SIPPs?
Yes I have quite a few ex 386SX-20 Diskless workstations circa 1993.
Er small? Was there more than one size.
These are the same size as the equivalent simm, and can be converted to
same
Have you
got any 1Mb DIPPs??
I have seen SIPPs, but have none of either. What exactly is a DIPP? by CAREFULLY removing the pins and the solder. (Not
easy, but I have done
it and made it work on occasion - though only when desperate it's a real
PITA)
