Dan,

I doubt Hitachi would have signed any agreement with Rambus that would require them pay to Rambus royalties on products they had developed without Rambus help and had been selling for years.

Hitachi signed their contract with Rambus in 1992 according to Geoff Tate (at the annual meeting). Since the SDRAM products didn't begin shipping until the mid-90s (1996 in PCs), Hitachi could not have been selling any of these products "for years" when they signed the contract.
