  • "Silicon Chip" Dec 1990 article on Hyperam MC [Australia] [Moussa? Basi

    From Louis Ohland@21:1/5 to All on Tue Aug 15 14:42:38 2023
    There may be a period article on the Hyperam MC 32/16. I can only get a preview, but it's a "no view" where the in-line Adobe PDF viewer won't
    load. [not the only site, FWIW].

    There were two completely different Hyperam cards, one with two 72-bit
    SIMMs upper center and the one with 5 sets of ZIPs.

    all the hyper related stuff I had , I have submitted in the past Louis Siliconchip was available on archive.org in the past, not sure this days

    I know I have at least one card in the shed but is a jungle out there.

    let me see what I can find on my NAS.

    Commercial X2816B Electrically Erasable PROM

    http://www.bitsavers.org/components/xicor/1990_Xicor_Data_Book.pdf
    page 174

    DESCRIPTION
    The Xicor X28168B is a 2K x 8 E2PROM, fabricated with an advanced, high performance N-channel floating gate MOS technology. Like all Xicor
    programmable nonvolatile memories it is a 5V only device. The X2816B
    features the JEDEC approved pinout for bytewide memories, compatible
    with industry standard RAMs, ROMs and EPROMs.

    The X2816B supports a 16-byte page write operation, typically providing
    a 300 μsf byte write cycle, enabling the entire memory to be written in
    less than 640 ms. The X2816B also features DATA Polling, a system
    software support scheme us

    Oh-ho...

    I finally counted the ZIP sockets, and now it seems clearer, yet more kontuzing.

    Each ZIP socket is for a 20 pin ZIP.

    There are eight "banks" for vertically mounted ZIPs [20 pin], each
    "bank" is for SEVEN [7] ZIPs.

    There are eight horizontally mounted ZIP sockets [20 pin].

    This is kontuzing. Seven? Wish we knew the identity of the 20 pin ZIPs.

    I first thought the 8x ZIP sockets at the lower left were to add an
    eighth ZIP to the four "banks", but 7x8=56, add 8 and that's 64 total
    sockets.

    7 7 7 7
    7 7 7 7

    4 4

    The board, Hyperam MC 32/16, is one
    of the world's first third-party memory
    boards of its size.


    It uses 4Mbit memory chip technology
    and has been developed for multi-user
    environments — large Xenix, Unix, and
    OS/2 networks made possible by the in
    troduction of powerful 386- and 486
    based file servers need large amounts of
    memory to function effectively.
