Is this the real deal? What's it doing in the wild?

AFAICR SGS produced NV1 boards/chips back then.

Okay, clearly I was too vague. I'm somewhat familiar with the history here. :smile:

My question is, is that the actual text of the actual contract between SGS-Thomson and NV (which is what it purports to be). . .and if so, isn't it a bit unusual for it to be floating around on the 'net?

Mwahaha. "Poor record with complex design". Gee, picked their examples there carefully, didn't they?
