I don't know about that, but when I was at Wayne State University in the early 1970's, we bought some Fairchild semiconductor memory for our System/360 model 67. Each memory box contained 256 K bytes and cost about $250,000. This was in about 1972. I was told at the time that it was the first commercially available third party semiconductor memory for the System/360. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
