Its a Dataram Corporation DR-118. 16K x 12. Its a 3 board stack, plugs into
only one quad slot, but the thickness prevents use of a second quad slot
in the 8/E omnibus. This was apparently pulled from a working 8/E
system a year ago. I bought it on Ebay. 16K using only 2 slots instead
of 6, and not needing 8 of those 'top' connectors, sounded like a
bargain to me (assuming it works).
