Are there any known examples of real-world products or equipment that
used the 14500 ?
(Leaving aside evaluation boards & such.)
I had the impression of it as a bit of a stillborn product, like the
Fairchild CMOS Macrologic series (34700/4700 ICs), of limited
cost-effectiveness or benefit by the time it was introduced.
Anyone know when was it introduced? Earliest ref I have is 1979 in a
Motorola full-line catalog.
