Re: AE Gsram 4096

It just happens that a PCB manufacture is named something with the
initials A.E., and they chose to use the old English, Latin, whatever
you believe in, character that is a diphthong of the letters A and E
as their logo. It's use in modern day is less and less, though with
unicode it could be making a comeback along with lots of others. I
used to remember what company that actually was, but .. can't place it
at the moment.

Heck, the @ sign might have died had it not been for email .. ;-)

It's been used in many places, though AE used a simple block version,
where as the actual character is more like what you see on the PCB
there, with the top of the A being 'flat' as a continuation of the
E.

Pacemark manufactured these and sold them, as well (Scantron) Quality
Computers sold this board as their own before they went and made their
own of a similar design, but used ZIP and DIP 1mb DRAMs instead.
