Hi
 I was talking about Intel's 5 volt '08. They may have been
called 2758 or 2508, I don't recall. As far as I know,
Intel never specifically made a 5 volt 1Kx8 EPROM die, only
the 2Kx8. TI was first out with a single rail '08 and was
doing in the 2708 sales from Intel. That is when Intel started
relabling the half bad 2716's( Yes, I know that the pinout are
not compatable between the 2716 and 2708, what does that have
to do with what we were talking about? ). Early on these half
bad parts were cheaper than 2716's but later in their life,
they were list as being more expensive.
