I started in Yorktown and then went to EF in R&D (B300) for the rest of my career.... I was a process, materials, and device engineer (chemist by degree). I was the original process engineer for IBM's first MOS device. I remember FMS and seem to recall some of it being in B300....the chip FMS tried to cut its teeth on was the one I worked on in Yorktown. Who did you work with in FMS? FMS was primarily in B300...what remained after the cancellation went to 320 and was renamed the QTAT. I worked with equipment engineering on the design of parts of the line. We worked on several pieces of hardware, including customer steppers. Back then you couldn't buy a line end to end as you can today...we designed much of the hardware ourselves...including air tracks. After that was killed I worked on process and test equipment for the MLC line. Al
