What I'm personally afraid of is that, due to the bad power supply which was repaired in restoration part 1, the wrong voltage was applied to one of the power pins of several boards full of DRAM chips, and this may have fried the entir

What is the situation with Patents on the Cuckoo filter? I saw no less than 2 pending applications with some quick googling, one by NetSpeed, one by TI, and quick uspto search shows over a dozen patents. Is the entire useful concept patente

I noticed that 3101 SRAMs have the same pinout as the later 7400-series 7489 16x4 SRAMs; I'm not 100% sure that they are fully electrically/timing compatible, but this could end up being a way of testing using known good parts...

I have both sides of said purple sheet scanned, actually. The original sheet is in rather sad shape though, so the scans need to be vectorized, etc.

Very interesting comment at the linked article there: Martin: "In the EU, we already lost the case. Any free software based radio (DD-WRT, CyanogenMod, Debian on WiFi- or GSM-enabled devices etc. with free, replacable drivers) will be
