Good job on the sign, Surfer Geek. :thumbsup
The Logic Memory Center sign is on the square hatch that Bowman has to open to access the Brain Room.
I don't have a better grab of the small type, but you can almost start to make it out... who has a 70mm film clip...
If it matters, in Arthur C Clarke's novel (which diverges from the movie on MANY points), the door to Hal's brain room says, among other things, "No Admittance Except to Authorized Personnel," "Have You Obtained Certificate H-19?" and "Ultra-Clean Area - Suction Suits
Must Be Worn".

Any idea on the actual memory cards (the clear plastic)?

As to the lucite blocks or whatever they are, they appear to be custom made, I can't imagine that they are "found" objects. They seem to play in to that 60s aesthetic that imagined that super-advanced electronics would be in the form of crystals or clear blocks (ie Star Trek, Space 1999).
The "solid-state logic units" are in several banks, marked IV-1 LOGIC TERMINAL, IV-2 LOGIC TERMINAL, IV-3 LOGIC TERMINAL, and MEMORY TERMINAL.
The circuit blocks themselves are labeled with a number and the abbreviation for the bank they're in. The third block in the IV-2 bank would be labeled "3" and "LT/2" for example.
Bowman twists a key under each block he's disconnecting, and the block slides smoothly out.
The entire room appears to be lined with similar logic block slots. Presumably Bowman is only disconnecting HAL's "higher brain functions", and the other blocks contain programming for running the automatic functions of Discovery.
