As an aside - once upon a time I worked for a company
that made their own
Sparc boards to fit inside a supercomputer and several of them were inside
secure military/government establishments. Sometimes a board would fail and
have to go back for a fix - and then the RTC/NVRAM chip had to be removed
because - you know, those 64 bytes of battery backed RAM might just hold some
state secret or something...
Fun days.

Surprised they knew about it!
