I don't know if they are called Microms, but there is the CPU, MMU,
FPU, CIS and I seem to remember that there was one other...
As for their size, all of the chips except for the CIS option are
one socket wide. The CIS option actually plugs into the outer
sets of pins of adjacent sockets.

CIS
and the CIS carrier actually has 6 chips.
As I mentioned in a prior post, I have an 11/23+ with CPU, MMU,
FPU and CIS, so I can prove it exists...
