From article <37600005@pyr1.cs.ucl.ac.uk>, by william@pyr1.cs.ucl.ac.uk:
, I was working for a small company in Cambridge, UK.  The office
, manager was non-technical, but was in charge of component stores
, and had a good idea of the sorts of items that the company needed to
, order.  We caught him out twice quite neatly by getting him to put
, in orders for some 8kx8 Write only memories, and some D-ROMS.
														^^^^^^

Caution.  A really knowledgable source (the guy who designed the
CompuPro PC-VIDEO card) told me once that the original true-blue
CGA card for the PC used a Dynamic ROM for the character generator.
Me?  I am still unclear on the concept.
