It's mentioned in the back of one of the Intel databooks I have. I think
it was an ICE for the sequencer chip (I've forgotten which one that was),
but, of course, since the microcode would most likely be in ROM, emulating
the sequencer would be enough to trace the microcode, and hence get a good
idea of what was going on.

Provided it's not the 4001's that fail, then there's no real problem. The
analogue bits are at least fixable. Of course programming a 1702 was
non-trivial - you had to drive a number of pins to crazy voltages...
