DRAMs

(1 / 1)


Mary,

Rick and I have decided to use the 256K x 4 DRAMs (4 per) instead of
the 128K x 8 DRAMs (2 per).

The reason is that the 256K x 4 has several sources so we are less likely 
to get caught in a long leadtime crunch.

I met Janell from Wyle today after having known her over the telephone for
a long time. She is very nice. She has volunteered to get me samples of the
256K x 4 DRAMs from both TI and Micron. I hope that is ok.

We will be using these parts in the DIP package. 
(The TI number is TMS44C256-12N; faster parts are ok)

We will still be using the 128K x 8 VRAMs (TMS48C121-12DZ; faster parts 
are ok.)

Missed you,

  Jed
