Who knows this guy? I found his name on a chip.
And the Internet gives nothing.
If it ia a name...
And not JO TI EL

No award for the answer, but a pretty interesting chip where I found it ...

Initials of the engineers?

Lets see the chip as a whole, it might help to start us in the right direction to find the answer.

yah its the initials of the engineers, a pretty common practice.

Nope, FFTHMS or so should then be there.
Or the official version is a lie.

Ans maybe this the reason why no die pictures are anywhere in the net.

FFTHMS, so probably an 8080 Smile

Other people that put initials on were the mask layout people

Hey, that's part of the quest:-)

Ok
I'll post a picture tomorrow (all the stuff us in the office now)

ok, here we go:

TI might be Tom Innes
JO might be Joe Friedrich
EL no idea

The chip is the 4040

The pictures are far from being perfect, I have the microscope since yesterday and as there is no focus function besides changing the distance it is pretty hard to get good shots, lol.

Hm, seems not to be very interesting.
Anyhow, this post is just to make number 2000:-)

Hehehe, it`s a bit ciphered, of course again the church behind it:
Jo h n th e B a p ti s t a n d S t. J o h n t h e E v a n g el
just found this on google, honestly! Smile

haha, cool.

to be serious, Tom Innes for TI seems to be sure (a stupid wikipedia search returned he worked on it - ok, though this is the only source - but what a coincidence)
