Re: Memory tester

  In about 1985 I remember seeing a PC based IC tester that someone was
making. IIRC it tested CMOS, TTL and memory ICs and had a disk based
library of IC functions. The nice thing about it was that you could add
new functions (IC definitions) to the library. It would also try to
identify unknown ICs by comparing them to the functions in the library. I
can't remember who made the thing but it was a small company and I THINK
they were based here in Orlando. I've been wondering for years what ever
became of them and their testers. Does anyone remember who they were or
what happened to them? I THINK the tester was just a socket hung on the
end of a ribbon cable and that it used a 1/2 length adapter board inside
the PC. The whole thing looked about like one of the PC=based EPROM burners.
