There was also a period of time when an earthquake in the far east
knocked out some of the fabs there, and the supply of memory got so bad
that some manufacturers had to stop shipping systems, but IBM just
switched to using their own memory. It also went the other way too, the

At one time IBM was the largest manufacturer of memory and consumed *all* of
it internally (e.g. for IBM products). At the time all of IBM’s ICs were in
the “aluminum” cans unless they needed more exotic cooling.
In the PS/2 days, we ended up using some IBM produced memory because we could

wire wrap pins. I’m having trouble sourcing these connectors, probably because
I don’t know the correct terms to search under. Anyb

The talk of PS2 memory brought something back to me I have in a drawer
here...
ps2 memory - with weird square silver IBM Circuit packaged memory on

What is the story on this? was IBM making it's own memory chips or just
repackaging them into

Bob,
Thank you for bringing sanity before the thread sunk into how to make
fibre or wet ink drafting based pens work again.
Jon you were very very lucky to get that wooden box and its contents

I have a carton of old 1S/2D floppy diskettes here. I used them 28 years ago
to make backups.
I have no use for them, and I have no idea if they still work.

2S/2D.
FFS to a good home.
