Amd has an ad for their CMOS EPROMS in EE Times (1/15 pp 6) that mentions
several historical memory devices.  One that cought my eye, is a
Selectron Tube that had "random  access to 256 bits of storage with
a cycle time of a mere 20 ms."  Anyone heard of these before?  Or
know the typical applications?   And I realize this is a long shot, but
if someone out there has one of these widgets they'd be willing to sell
I'd sure like to add it to my collection of tube era stuff.  AMD
offers special thanks to the Boston Computer Museum in the ad.  Is 
the computer museum online?
