It was just a plastic DIP package, with some legs and usually "write-back" printed on it to look good, but no silicon inside, I'm surprised google can't summon up the X-rays that existed at the time proving it. Eventually cache testing programs came along, much like those that can spot counterfeit large USB flash drives, that are really just lying small USB flash drives. |
