Rumor has it that Richard Erlacher may have mentioned these words:

Not sure who still *makes* them, but BGMicro and I think Jameco still sells
Moto 6810 & I think 68B10 parts - IIRC 128x8 parts. (No, not Meg, No, not
Kilo, but 128 Bytes... just to clarify ;-)

Also, if you're looking for non-volitile, you could go with one of the
Dallas Semiconductor 12x887 parts - 14 bytes of control registers for the
onboard clock chip, and 114 bytes of general-purpose battery-backed RAM.

BGMicro has some pretty weird stuff... including some really nice kits from
what I recall. www.bgmicro.com; I think they have a catalog online, if not
you can download it as a .pdf...

Hope that helps,

Recycling is good, right???  Ok, so I'll recycle an old .sig.
If at first you don't succeed, nuclear warhead
disarmament should *not* be your first career choice.
