Well, my Tek scope has one in there, if I'm
remembering right...
(Or was that an 8086? :-)
What model is it Roy?
It's a 2246.
There was a Tek analyzer thing which in actuality was
a peecee with a
handle. IINM model # was TC-2100 or something. Booted plain_jane
DOS too I think.
I remember one time thinking that it might be a good idea to clean some of the
dust out of it, so I opened it up, and was rather surprised to find that
chip in there.
