Motorola 6800 - Second Sources

Second Sources

A common requirement for manufacturing companies was to require two or more sources for every part in the products they made. This ensured they could get parts if a supplier had financial problems or a disaster. Initially Motorola selected American Microsystems Inc (AMI) as a second source for the M6800 family. Hitachi, Fujitsu, Fairchild, Rockwell and Thomson Semiconductors were added later.

  • AMI S6800 MPU

  • Fairchild F6802P and an AMI S6820 PIA

Famous quotes containing the word sources:

    On board ship there are many sources of joy of which the land knows nothing. You may flirt and dance at sixty; and if you are awkward in the turn of a valse, you may put it down to the motion of the ship. You need wear no gloves, and may drink your soda-and-brandy without being ashamed of it.
    Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)

    The sources of poetry are in the spirit seeking completeness.
    Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)
