Now "WD2001" is the name of a Western Digital DES chip; Apple Canada can tell me that the technical literature refers to the chip as a 2Mhz "arithmetic processor", and that requests to California for more information are met with the response "no information available". Given the current atmosphere of paranoia rampant throughout the U.S. cryptologic atmosphere this in itself isn't too surprising. Does anyone know, if the board >had< a 2Mhz WD2001 plugged into it, how you'd get at it? -- Richard Outerbridge (416) 961-4757 Payload Deliveries: N 43 39'36", W 79 23'42", Elev. 106.47m.
