"VAX--when you care enough to steal the very best."
We discovered this winning poker hand on a Digital Equipment Company (DEC) CVAX microprocessor, the brains behind the DEC MicroVAX 3000 and 6200 series of mini-computers. Bob Supnik, an ex-chip designer for DEC, loaned us the chip and provided information about the silicon doodle. The slogan reads: "$... The Dream Is Always The Same", which represents the dream of the silicon team to produce the first Digital microprocessor to boot VMS on first pass silicon. The ace up the sleeve represents the Rigel, the next microprocessor in the series.
"A pun on a logic circuit that sums three binary bits, this snake made tracks in 1980."
"Anubis - About 100 microns tall, this god was found on a Silicon Graphics MIPS R12000 microprocessor."
