How many people remember the 2732 and 2764 EPROM's? (the 32 and 64 refer to Kbits, not bytes). Intel had both projects going at once, but (unexpectedly) the 64 team got *ahead* of the 32 team. They dropped the 32 project, and never made an actual 32 chip. But they still sold a 2732--it was a 2764 in which one side was bad, and they'd permanently wired it to use the good sise. hawk, old enough to remember when microsoft wrote good software . . .
