DEC MS630/M7609 Question

[W2HX]

Thanks, Lyle. I was reading this. I guess its wrong?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MicroVAX

The MS630 memory expansion module was used for expanding memory capacity. Four variants of the MS630 existed: the 1 MB MS630-AA, 2 MB MS630-BA, 4 MB MS630-BB and the 16MB MS630-CA. 

Wouldn't be the first time wikipedia was wrong...
