Some information on Micron Optic Rams

[Wallis, Jane]

I'm sorry Jim, but I can't answer your last question.  However, I do appreciate the extra information you have provided.  The information I have received to date has met my requirements.  Thank you very much for the offer of additional project sheets.

Once again - Thank You.

Jane,

If you are interested. As a student (several decades ago) I developed 
several 64K and 512K DRAM cameras. I used TI and Intel DRAMs (at the 
time I was unaware of the Micron opticRAM). In its day, I thought 
this was pretty cool. The DRAM was attached via tether to my computer 
and I varied the refresh rate to get gray scale. Assembly language is 
a beautiful thing (or a nightmare). Of course the real trick was to 
remove the ceramic package lid and polyimide protective "goop" to 
reveal the chip die imaging surface (without damaging the die).

Anyway, I have attached the covers of Mircro IS32 and IS256 
information that I readily found. I believe I may still have the 
MicronEye Camera and Manual, as well as other information.

If you would like copies of this information let me know. I will be 
out of town for a week or so (and I will have to recall where I have 
stuff the other information).

Why are you interested in the OpticRam?

Enjoy,
Jim
