On a related issue, one of the owners of Unitron has
claimed in two
separate interviews that they had 300 machines in a warehouse. I really,
really doubt this (though 300 cases instead of whole machines might be
possible). When I turned in my design to Unitron in late 1987, Alberto
told me "We tried your equations on all the machines we have and out of
the 30 about half didn't have sound".
But in 1995 I had written (http://www.merlintec.com/lsi/mac512.html):
[...] they had modified some 15 machines and half of
them were having
problems with sound [...]
I'll trust my 1995 memory of the event more than my 2012 memory ;-)
At least "15" and "half" appear in both versions, if not exactly in
the
same way.
