Found this at my grandads house, love looking at the old tech, he used to be a BBC technician. His PC has DDR 256mb RAM and this old 16 MB RAM wish i could find a date of this the chips dont have datecodes and all i can find is a shitty kingston page about the part number, anyone know a rough year for this?

I managed to dig this up, there seems to be a mistake in the "information updated on" date but it's a reasonable guess they meant 1990 and not 190. So that stick is most likely a late 1989 specimen. https://content.it4profit.com/itshop/itemcard_cs.jsp?ITEM=50409104046407058&THEME=asbis&LANG=sr here we find more evidence that it's not much later than 1987, considering the time in which the computers it points to as compatible were relevant around that time.
