Which bubble "chips" would someone confuse with dram? All the Intel, TI, Hitachi and Russian ones I've ever seen are relatively large, square, thick and decidedly un-DRAM like. I have several working bubble memory boards. You can't take them apart. :-)

This was an IBM board so all the chips were in large, square, metal packages. These packages are descendants of the SLT modules used in the System/360.

  Ah...that makes complete sense. The SLT chips are certainly bubblememory-ish.
