I made one of those in the 1980s... I read about the trick in Byte,
then carefully removed the lid from a 4116 and installed a bit of
slide mount cover. To test it, I stuffed the altered DRAM into an
Apple II, covered the DRAM, cleared the high-res screen, then watched
individual pixels show up when I uncovered the chip and let light fall
directly on it.
What I never did was to take it to the next stage and decode the grid.
