No, it was not Crusoe. I'm fairly sure it was
VIA, and less sure it was
the C3. Maybe Cyrix? Whatever was current technology around 2002 I
guess.
I remember reading the rumour that the RISC instruction set was
accessible, and I contacted VIA about this. I got an email from someone
I gathered was a company executive, and I signed an NDA to get the
information. I got a paper document in the mail.
Unfortunately, a few years ago I cleaned out the room where the document
was stored. As I didn't think it was important at the time, I threw it
away.
I would love to provide a proper citation, but I searched the net and
couldn't find anything to back this up.
Remarkable! OK then. As a journo, and one who doesn't generally sign
NDAs, I would not have met this.
