I was working on a couple of prospect HP-71B that might turn out ok, if I could repair them. One has very nice LCD and bezel and keyboard. But it is one of those that has the cable and they fracture easily.
When I opened it up, I found two modules already wired inside. And the bypassed cable was already bypassed but a few wires were disconnected.
At first I thought cool, RAM. But two chips didn't make sense, unless they were high density. Who would wire a couple of 4K RAMS? I thought 32K and/or 64K?
When I tried to identify them, I couldn't make a match. One part number vaguly looks like HP 5061 7234. The only thing that comes up for that is FORTH Assembler. Could that be a FORTH module? The last digit is hard to make out. Could be '0' or '9' but the loop looks too small for a '0'.
The other one looks different from a 4K.
Any idea what these might be?

These are the only 2 internally wired devices.
