Thanks to all for the answer to my question---correct on all counts. I
found one dual stamped [INTEL 8080A & 1820-1701]. "House numbered" parts
always seemed like odd thing to do--duplicated a lot of effort---did
they think they were hiding propriatiary information by obscuring the
actual #'s on chips, transistors, etc?
        Thanks again,
        Craig
