64Kx1 Dram chips, 150ns & 200ns, used in 32/64K CoCo 1/2 & Dragon 64 
(also some 32s have half bad ones).

These can often be used to upgrade 16K CoCo 1s to 64K *** NOTE *** this 
is not just a simple chip swap, you need to change jumpers as well or 
you will fry the ram !

Not sure but probably some sort of RAMs, sound like 256Kx1, so possibly 
of use in some CoCo 3 exansion modules ???

16Kx1 Dram chips, used in 16K CoCo 1/2 & some Dragon 32s.

Well load of vintage home micros used the 6502, and of course lots of 
old PCs used 8088/8086.

 From a google search this looks like a 41464 64Kx4 equivelent, 41464s 
where used in some of the 64k CoCo2 machines, as replacements for the 
2x4416 16Kx6 chips.

Now I just need a source of 2532s, as a lot of the old Dragon carts used 
these.

Cheers.
