For those Hardware Designers interested in saving board space, have 
you considered Single In-Line Modules (SIM) for SRAMs, Video RAMs or DRAMs?  
Toyocom, a manufacturer of IC modules, will have company personnel in the area
next week.  I have set up a meeting with them and Bill Hedgpeth, the sales
rep from Pinnacle Sales.  They will present their capabilities and the 
advantages of this approach.
	One of the most important advantages may be economical: these devices 
are considered an assembly and will not be effected by the coming price
increases on descrete RAM packages presently being established by the 
Japan/USA economic guidelines on imports.  
	The meeting time has been set for next Monday at 10:45 AM (9-15-86) 
and will be limited to 40 minutes (they must leave by 11:30).  If you would 
like to attend please let me know at this address so that I may have an 
indication of interest and reserve a conference area and so Bill Hedgpeth
may bring adequate information packets.
