Thanks! I was hoping you’d see this and have some thoughts.

I know this memory is the type that doesn’t forget (151 years???) so I’m not sure what that would have been for. Maybe I was working on an Arduino project (4K) and wanted more memory … but having one that is like battery backed (without the battery) doesn’t make sense… Unless maybe I wanted it to remember the messages or something. Who knows!

I don’t see any serial/TTL interface, and those were my big CoCo projects from the past few years, so I’m clueless why I have it.

But I’m glad I do.
