About this Artwork

This artwork displays many of the various types of solid-state memory that succeeded the core memory used in the 60’s and 70’s. The variety of memories represented here is due to several factors. First, price/performance factors drove many of the developments, speed vs. cost, capacity vs. cost, etc. Capabilities such as the non-volatility, the ability to retain bit patterns when power is turned off, drove some. Also, just the marketing forces to differentiate products drove some of it as well.

Here are some of the devices included in this artwork: Signetics 82S09, Intel 1103, TI S0004, Fairchild 460DC, AMI 5177, Intel 3636, Intel C1702A, Motorola 358, RCA 4042, Fairchild 3341, AMD 1404, PC Card, MMC Module.
