Well, now that I think about it, I've never even seen a good, close-up shot of
one...
... and after about 15 minutes of googling, I still can't find one. This
clashes with my worldview that everything anyone wants to know is on the
Internet, /somewhere/.
So could someone with an eMate memory upgrade carefully drop it in a scanner
(both sides) and post the image somewhere? The UNNA drop box is as good a
place as any. Or, at least a listing of the chip markings would be a start.
