Several years ago, Motorola/IBM used the part number "7400" for some of
their PowerPC chips.
And of course a 4040 from Intel is a 4-bit microprocessor, from RCA it's
a 12 bit CMOS counter. I can never rememebr what the 4004 is in the
4000-eries CMOS, it's sufficiently rare that none of the data books I
have to hand list it.
And then there was the guy a while back who I'd sent some MC4044 chips to, and
he accused me of sending him some R-S Latch parts...
Which Motorola would've called MC14044.
