Thanks Guy! Mystery solved! I will put this note in with the memory stick.. Ed# _www.smecc.org_ (http://www.smecc.org) In a message dated 1/28/2017 6:00:46 P.M. US Mountain Standard Time, g...@shiresoft.com writes:
At one time IBM was the largest manufacturer of memory and consumed *all* of it internally (e.g. for IBM products). At the time all of IBM’s ICs were in the “aluminum” cans unless they needed more exotic cooling. In the PS/2 days, we ended up using some IBM produced memory because we could get a better internal transfer price than buying out in the market because the various IBM fabs had a bit of excess capacity and wanted it used.
