Had Bosch come up with EFI already by 1968?

Every VW (and Audi & MB, etc) of that vintage that I've seen used
CIS, which was a purely mechanical system.

I have seen a 1969 Audi Super 90 (wagon) that had an aftermarket
Capacitative Discharge Ignition (CDI) System... by 1974, Audis
had those as stock, while CIS was still 1 year off...

My 1986 Audi 5000 CS Turbo Quattro uses a Motorola 6802-based
controller... very simple to upgrade, too.... ;-)
