Intel C1101A 256-bit Static Random Access Memory in White Ceramic with Gray Traces - The first MOS Memory Chip.

This Item is an Intel C1101A 256-Bit SRAM in a Very Rare White Ceramic with Gray Traces Dual Inline Package as per the Photos.

There is a Lot Number shown on the Top of the Chip but no Date Code or place of Manufacture shown on the Bottom of the Chip but my guess is that it would have been Manufactured in the USA during 1970

I am unable to test this Chip for functionality so it is being sold for collection purposes only and as such has no warranty or guarantee of being functional.

The 1101 was developed by Intel n parallel with the 3101, but lost the race to be Intel’s first product. It was produced with Silicon gate MOS (Metal Oxide Semiconductor) technology, which gave Intel the edge it needed to produce high density memories.

I can assure any buyers that the prices for these vintage Chips will rise significantly over the coming years as they have done so over the past 30 years so it will be a good investment for them as the majority of the older chips have been scrapped for their gold content.
