The date of the second printing of the MC14500B Industrial Control
Unit Handbook is December 1977. I don't have the first printing.
It's also worth noting that the thing does not appear in the 1981
Motorola Microprocessor Databook. So it's obvious that Motorola did
not consider it to be a microprocessor. (duh!)
