Do any of your docs say what "COSMAC" actually means? I was thinking along
the lines of "Chip On Sapphire MAChine" or something like that (the COSMAC
1802 was originally fabricated using a Silicon On Sapphire process that gave
it radiation resistance - IIRC NASA used 1802s on some deep-space probes).

Later.
