Oh? I couldn't find any such information on Dicomed's site. I'd be
interested in a pointer to some info about this one or other 6x6cm
sensor products, since the largest that I've seen are in the
neighborhood of 36mm x 49mm (e.g. Imacon).

Here's some older info :

and more recently, they introduced a single-shot color back :

Interesting, and thanks for the links.

One has to look for historical articles on these items, as they did
not capture their intended markets at the time of their introduction.
The $55K+ price tag certainly had something to do with that.

I wonder if this Dicomed product ever made it beyond the prototype stage?
Other MF digital backs are selling, and they are neither full frame nor
all that much cheaper, even today. If the technology was what it was
supposed to be, a full-frame 6x6cm sensor would be attractive, even at its
comparatively low 16 mp resolution.
