In my opinion Modicom was the best, did not need external cooling, A/B has
clout thus pretty much dominated. Did you know they used core at first and
some customers demanded it since it kept its ones and zeros when the power
went away ?
As far as I know, the 7300 never used core. No sign of
anything like that in the book. They did have a big backup
battery for the DRAM, I used a couple AH 12 V Gel Cell
battery. The charger for the Gel Cell ran when the control
power was off, so it was supposed to maintain the memory
indefinitely - except the memory power switch had a dirty
contact and would dump the memory every couple of weeks.
