Re: MK14 schematic revisions
That sounds like a good find for the price. I think the SAB prefix (Siemens?) is a prefix not as widely known as, say, the Intel devices (P2111) so you did well to come across those.
The programmer I'll be using to program your PROMs with also has a handy IC testing feature which includes once-common static and dynamic RAM ICs, so if you'd like those tested feel free to include them with the PROMs. However, I see no reason to assume that any of them will be faulty.
Unfortunately I wouldn't be able to test those in the MK14 as they are one of the few ICs which are soldered rather than socketed in my particular machine - when I built it I happened not to have any IC sockets with the right number of pins, and I was impatient to get it built and up and running.
There must, somewhere, be large old redundant PCBs full of 2111 RAM ICs just lying around waiting to be found. I used to see a lot of that sort of thing in cardboard boxes at the larger radio rallies during the nineties.
