Oddly enough, I don't believe I've ever had anything that required 2708's,
though several of my old Multibus boards use them if one wishes. 2716's and
later were obviously the part of choice. At least one of my old S-100
programmers handles 2708's, but, in spite of that, and in spite of the fact I've
held onto a supply of the things for years, I've never had to use one.
