Yes, that's exactly where the discussion started,
somebody asked if
there was a single-chip hex 7-seg decoder, the 9368 (and other 93xx)
were pointed out.
And it probably should be pointed out that the part probably
originated with Fairchild as part of its 9300 MSI TTL family.
Interestingly, the earliest 7-segment TTL decoder (1960s), the 9307,
had the horizontal segments on the "6" and "9". Was it contemporary
taste that caused later versions to drop the segment?
