I seem to recall reading somewhere (BYTE ~1985 ?)
that Soviet made CPUs
(6502 clones?) were so poorly maid that they individually came with a
list of which instuctions worked and which didn't. Also seem to recall
an article on the soviet Apple ][ clone of the time (CPU on a large
daughterboard, pirated ROM, cost approx US $20,000)
I remember that article. The entire motherboard was pirated! Not just
the ROM. The tops of the ICs had been ground off to hide the fact that they
were US made parts.
