VLSI once built a WOM for one of its customers (custom-designed, no less).
We sold a few I know, but the product it went into never was a hit and so
I don't think we make them any more.

The strangest thing to me was that it had *seven* pins...

P.S.  This chip wasn't a joke, but there is a twist.  First correct guess wins
      a prize (50 kbits absolutely FREE! :-).
