   Actually have a coupla parts hanging around, from the period where it   
   was new enough they'd hand out samples to anyone passing themselves off   
   as a researcher ;) Think I've got a meg or two of the second-generation   
   stuff (and another 64KB of first-gen, but the read/rewrite life on that   
   is specced an order or two of magnitude lower.)   
      
   Had the notion to use old cache SRAMs as a 1:1 write-through cache to   
   keep wear to a minimum; just haven't gotten around to *doing* it yet.   
   Well, oneathesedays...
