        I've got a Dataram DR224 8MB memory upgrade for the Digital
MicroVAX and
MicroVAX II. It is populated with 288 ZIPs (M5M4256L-150). I hate
to even think how big a pain it would've been to insert those ZIPs if
they had been socketed! I remember the hassle involved in upgrading
them in my A3000 a few years ago. According to Dataram, this board
was manufactured somtime in '86.
