As a side note I remember reading years ago about great (other than next
weeks clone) upcoming hardware in BYTE and never hear about it again.
Pascal/Modula II engines come to mind.
The chips certainly existed, but I never saw them deployed as
anything other than a curiosity.
On a related issue, there were several CD collections put out with
code and often article text. I've got a set here simply called
"Source code" and another that excised the more interesting articles
and code from a dozen or two publications and delivered it as a
quarterly summary. I never cracked any of the things past a quick
browse--and most of the time, I forget that I even have them. DDJ
also issues compendium CDs; I don't know if Byte ever did.
