Maybe, but not before some manuals got out with it included. I have
seen one of the manuals that got printed and hastily withdrawn, with a

I think Bill was thinking in terms of RISC as what could been avoided by
using a wrapper!

Not quite lost. The 1802 crowd is doing amazing things.
See https://groups.io/g/cosmacelf/message/33678
And if you know anything about the 1802, it's, uh, not so speedy.
At its
introduction,it was one of few static CMOS CPUs. You could run
it from batteries and stop the clock when not needed. Perfect for
telemetry. I think the Intersil 6100 was another, but required 12-bit
wide memory.
--Chuck IMO, one of the original RISC cpus.. LoL..
I would apply that label to the CDC 6600 (1964).
