MS650 page

We have a KA650 Memory Subsystem page, which contains a lot of material that should be in an MS650 page. The thing is that the kind of division that was used for the KA780/MS780 and KA750/MS750 doesn't really work here, because the controller for the memory is on the CPU card, and only the arrays are on separate cards, which are formally named 'MS650-AA' and 'MS650-BA'. Probably the right thing to do is rename that page to MS650 Memory Subsystem (or whatever DEC's formal name for it is)? Whether we want to later move some of it to a 'MS650 Repair' page we can leave for now. Jnc (talk) 10:16, 17 June 2022 (CEST)

We do indeeed need a separate MS650 page, because the MS650 memory modules were used with a lot of CPUs:

• KA640 (MicroVAX/VAXserver 3300/3400)
• KA650 (VAXstation 3200/3500, MicroVAX/VAXserver 3500/3600)
• KA655 (MicroVAX/VAXserver 3800/3900)
• KA660 (VAX/VAXserver 4000-200)
• KN210 (DECsystem 5400)

I'm not sure there might even be more ...

The Systems and Options Catalog 1991 July-September just calls it 'MS650 Memory'. Vaxorcist (talk) 16:21, 17 June 2022 (CEST)
