   ^^^^^^^^^

    --Ahem--  We have done gadgets also.

Yes, surely.  I was attempting to refer to the more generic aspects of the
gadget design (which DEC did first), not the particular aspects of whether
gadgets have full or partial resources, or whether or not all composites
support gadgets.  Credit where credit is due (which is not to say that
HP doesn't deserve some).
