Cool. Thanks for the info.

This prompted me to dig up some old paper EduCALC catalogs that were buried. Combining those with the lists below and with eBay, here is the exhaustive list I was able to put together. This list isn't perfect and there are likely mistakes, but I have included everything I could find. Some of the names came from EduCALC so I am not 100% sure that the name is correct. In other words, some items might have actually sold under another name elsewhere in the list. Please comment on any mistakes or improvements.

RAM Cards:

Hewlett-Packard (HP) ~ "32KB RAM" ~ part# 82214A
Hewlett-Packard (HP) ~ "128KB RAM" ~ part# 82215A
Hewlett-Packard (HP) ~ "1MB RAM" ~ part# 82216A
CMT ~ "128K SRAM" ~
Epson ~ 128KB RAM ~
GRID ~ 1MB ~ 39003-00
KLOTZ Electronic ~ 4MB RAM ~ ~ Modern implementation
Miketech ~ 128KB RAM ~ ~ Modern implementation by Michael Kemper
Nikon ~ 128KB ~ Data Card ~ Appears to be re-branded CMT 48 128KB card
Norand Data Systems ~ 128KB RAM ~ 850-488-000
Norand Data Systems ~ 256KB RAM ~ 850-488-001
RAMSS ~ 512KB RAM
slvr00gt ~ 1MB RAM ~ ~ Sold by slvr00gt on eBay, modern implementation
slvr00gt ~ 2MB RAM ~ ~ Sold by slvr00gt on eBay, modern implementation
slvr00gt ~ 4MB RAM ~ ~ Sold by slvr00gt on eBay, modern implementation
slvr00gt ~ 128KB FRAM ~ ~ No battery required, sold by slvr00gt on eBay, modern implementation
slvr00gt ~ 512KB FRAM ~ ~ No battery required, sold by slvr00gt on eBay, modern implementation
Smith Corona ~ 32KB RAM ~
Sparcom ~ Pocket Professional 512KB RAM ~ ~ Assuming Sparcom since "Pocket Professional" trademarked
Surveyors Module Inc (SMI) ~ 256KB ~ ~ Looks like HP casing with SMI stickers on it.
Surveyors Module Inc (SMI) ~ 512KB ~

Tripod Data Systems (TDS) ~ 256KB GX ~
Tripod Data Systems (TDS) ~ 512KB ~

Note1: unless noted, it is expected that 128KB and lower is SX/GX compatible while 256KB and higher is GX-only.
Note2: I am not sure whether slvr00gt is a manufacturer or just a seller.
