re: Rich Kaul's request fo commercial vendors of associative memories --

Advanced Micro Devices offers a part called the Am99C10. It's a 256 word
by 48-bit content addressable memory chip, available in a variety of pkgs.
It is optimized for LAN address decoding but is general enough to be useful
elsewhere. Each CAM word has a 48-bit register and a 48-bit maskable comparato
allowing a 48-bit input word to be compared against all 256 entries in a
single 100 ns cycle. It also has single and multiple match detection with
priority encoding.
