50ns access time, that's pretty fast for EPROM.

I'm wondering why EPROM capacity wasn't able to keep up with other memories ...

Nice thread.

Magictom, I dont think it is a case of not keeping up, it was simply kicked in the ass by better technology, i.e. flash. I havent looked much into it, but I just assumed newer fabs and improved chip manufacture made earlier eprom manufacture obsolete.

At first I thought I was high on something...

Nice thread and nice pics. I understand why there's EPROM collecting, really nice chips.

And yet more goodness, these really make EPROMs worth the time.

They are simply beautiful
