all it is is some metal with thin silicon inside...so how do some
transistors and diodes get it from some sheet metal to something that

all this? is it really just a billion little diode switch things which
literally act as binary switches (0s and 1s)? always wondered...thanks! :-)
Just to confuse you they throw in about 68000 transistors instead.
A 2650-P-02 is a nice $9 chip from BG Micro, if we did want to stick
to a more classic computer designs - ( Signetics 2650 ).
