No, I was saying that the 9221 and 43xx were implimented using MOSFET.
Note that the numbering is oddball; the 9221 is the slowest in the
family.
I pulled a 3145 CE manual off my shelf and it says that the memory was
bipolar; I can't see any reason why the CPU would use a slower
technology than the memory, so I assume that the 3145 itself was also
bipolar. None of the technologies is listed in the index :-(
