Anybody else seen a Digital Equipment Corp brand StrongARM on their Empeg boards? I've probably looked at close to a 100 or more Empegs and have not ever seen anything but Intel until yesterday when I cracked open #2181. Anyone? Just thought it was interesting.

Hmm, so it seems that these might have been used more on MK1s? This one I have is an MK2A obviously. Interesting.

ISTR the mk1s were pretty much all Digital chips, but there may have been some appearing in mk2/2a's as we were scouring distributors for silicon from time to time in order to get build quantities together.
