Yes. I don't see that there'd be money to be had - it's hardly as if
there's a market there for them, other than us VAXen geeks, and we're not
gonna pay through the nose if they decided to do it anyway.
Personally, I don't see why the Q wouldn't let us do it, but then again,
this is the Q we're dealing with.
I can just see it now tho - a box based on one of these chips, a baby
drive, a bit of RAM, serial and ethernet - and to be able to say you
helped build it from a semiconductor level up. How cool would that be :&)
