THnaks... I've had a quickj look and will look at it more carefully when
I hae some spare time. From what I've seen, I certainly wouldn't call this
chip on its own a 'computer', but I don't see why it could't be part of
one.
It's a curious device though. Even at the time it was made it didn't
replace that many IC packages, and if you're not careful, using something
like this means the solution to the real problem becomes a kludge so as
to use said chip. I am not at all suprsied it wasn't that popular.
