ST = SGS-Thomson Microelectronics: http://www.st.com
The same French/Italian company that bought INMOS and
the
transputer. They now build the ST6 range of
microcontrollers, and the CPU chip used in the Dreamcast,
amongst many others.
I thought the Dreamcast used a Hitachi.
I didn't know Thomson owned INMOS and Mostek, either.
They also bought Mostek (not MOS Technologies), builder
of
the NVRAM chips used in Sun workstations as real-time clock
chips. And now suffering from dead batteries.
Well, yes, we've been through that. =)
