Intel ROMs also had another strange behavior when
exposed to too much UV... they'd only work with a
little light (possibly needing some UV). I may have
told this one before, but one embedded system I
did suddenly stopped working when we close it up
in a box. Open it up, it would work.

On my suspicion that light was involved, we ran
it in a dark room; no run. Shined a flashlight on
it, ran fine!

A conversation with an Intel tech verified this
was possible. Too strange, tho...
