I'm collecting information on RAM cards used for portable/laptop PCs. I need to
know the various PC manufacturers who use these cards, what the card capacities
and physical dimensions are, what their technology is (SRAM with battery backup,
DRAM with on-card controller & battery backup), and their retail - and if
possible, manufacturing & wholesale) cost. 

I know this is a lot of info, but if you have even the tiniest bit i would 
appreciate hearing from you.

All I really know right now is that ITT Canon has something called the Star Card,
which is an 8 card system (at 1Meg/card) which replaces a 5.25 inch half-height
drive, and that Grid, Zenith, and Atari use single cards which plug into their 
respective systems.

Thanks for any leads.
