Let's not start *that* DSW.   There are things in my spare room that
are best left buried.  :-)

....

Which reminds me.   I need a PCMCIA SRAM card, to resurrect one of the
machines in the Crypt.

They were sold in sizes up to 1MB, and had battery backup of the
static-RAM.  These cards were often used for expansion storage on the
early PDA-style devices, and were pretty much obsoleted by Compact Flash.

Anybody got one of these in their junk pile?
