pulled these out of old BayStack servers last night. Thought they were pretty cool. They were mounted vertical in the face of the unit in RAM slots. Only wish they were gold plated too!

What would they use this for? It'd look reeaaalll pretty...
I read a book about how to assemble a computer & it gave me a bunch of info I'd never know otherwise. Like how the memory sticks work, why theres 8 or 9 chips only on them (8 bits = a Byte.)
I'm sort of picturing the rows of 1's & O's marching over the rows of RAM, (up one side, over the top, down the other side & over to the next RAM. Hence the 'CRIM's', sticks with no chips that are just really a path to use when theres no RAM in the slot. They just fill in for the memory) then the east/west chips ordering the rows of bits to march sideways into new rows etc.
Then each one of those codes doing something physical, like a single pixel on the screen.

this was used to display the status of each port on a 48 port network hub. thought they were kinda cool. the newer ones are mounted on the circuit board and then they use plastic light tubes to display them in the face of the hub. Guess this was the easy way back then... guess i'm a collector too now!
