-
- Yeah. Some special design considerations for this chip...
-
- o Couldn't be mounted too close to the fan airflow, as it won't run
- unless it can avoid the draft.
-
- o The silicon wafers only exhibited the desired "Clinton" processing
- behavior when doped with a higher-than normal amount of impurity.
-
- o Was originally to be used in "bus" arbitration, but kept granting
- ownership to multiple devices at the same time.
-
- o The designers gave up on trying to come up with a "truth" table for the
- internal logic. (Had to settle on an "untruth" table).
-
- o Internal PROM(ises) are ERASABLE! Just put in any program you like, which
- of course, depends on whose listening.
-
-
- And a special safety warning sticker accompanies each chip...
-
- "In the event this chip self-destructs and releases signs of smoke...
-
- DON'T INHALE!!!"
