  I have the Hayden hardback edition, 9th printing (1988) and it has
nothing like this in it - in fact no pictures at all, only line drawings.
The three microprocessors mentioned are the 8080, LSI-11, and 6502 - and
these are called out as:

  The 8080 for synthesiser control
  The LSI-11 for direct synthesis
  The 6502 for 'logic replacement'

No mention of anything from TRW at all, for that matter....


  Cheers

John
