But IMHO, apart from trivial/standard sections, it wasn't.
Having worked at Intel just after 1981 (Jan '84) and knowing how "app
notes" got written, it is entirely possible that some FE wrote the app note
while looking at the IBM PC TechRef book! The app note for the 82786
(graphics chip) was written based on the design that Number-9 got working.
