I think some of the 7xxx ones were used by at least one third-party
vendor in hard disks for the early Macs. At least I recall the tech
support guy at SMS saying "Oh, you've got the Mac PROMs". I did a
design using one of these that interfaced an MFM drive to the Atari
ST's ACSI port. Worked pretty well, but I despised the shoddy
construction of the ST.
