<> Memory says 82s129, I have the data sheet home in that 1971 signetics

<The 82S129 was a fusible-link PROM. It was an actual device, and in
<production until quite recently.

And old... I had my data sheet out when I typed that... can you say
transient ischemic attack {blonde moment}. I could, if I remember.

<Incidentally the nominal Vff is given as 6.3V. I wonder how many
<modern-day engineers would realise the significance.

that's 6.3V AC, after all it is an indirectly heated cathode. ;)

Don't forget the drain [as in spigot] or the bit bucket under it.

<If anyone wants to get this data sheet, it's reprinted on page 605 of the
<'Student Manual for the Art of Electronics' by Thomas C Hayes and Paul
<Horowitz (2nd Edition, ISBN 0-521-37709-9)

I consider that a classic, both the book and the data sheet.
