One is a DEC M7458 MSV11-R, the other is from a 3rd party "General Robotics Corp." according to the printing on the board, which apparently happens to share the same model name. On Wed, May 6, 2020, 3:57 PM Chris Zach via cctalk wrote: > Cool, but can't see without logging in. Was the other pic

Ok. I think this is a picture of it: http://www.aceware.com.au/acms/images/Invent/GeneralRoboticsMSV_11R.jpg However if it is PMI then it does not have ECC. That's more like a MSV11-Q type memory. C

The link doesn't work but this does. http://www.aceware.com.au/acms/images/Invent/GeneralRoboticsMSV_11R.jpg Maybe it's PMI memory without ECC? I count 18 bits across which seems like the MSV11-Q parity memory. Does it say PMI on the side? C
