I always knew there was *someone* buying their parts. I just didn't know who.

One of the guys I work with really likes Maxim. Apparently when you buy by
the millions, Maxim can even deliver parts.

Cut off even MORE pins..that will make it faster yet: being Maxim, it
is already so fast that few (if anyone) get to see it...

When I worked for DEC in the early 70's, all
the backplanes were wired with yellow-white
wire. ECO's could be applied with any color
wire *but* yellow-white and field service issued
blue wire, so that's what it was back then.

Telco? You're not going back far enough. I meant as in the color of the
"Scarlet Letter"!

Comes in handy though. On one recent board, I implemented enough options
that, for the forseeable future, a mere BOM change will cover all
contingencies -- and when you, say, jumper a single SMT component that's
DNI'd, you don't need any blue wire, just a short bit of bare wire will
do. It was supposed to be that way...no one's the wiser. ;-)
Contingencies also include cost reduction: I've already laid out
replacements for the DC-DC modules ($$), it just has to be called out on
the BOM.

scarlet is as good as telcos calling grey/gray "slate".
those wires are as funny as old computer boards complete with the "spare"
sockets for ICs ready to be added at some later date. There still has to
be some silly name for this type of stuff past and "engineering change."

Fine wires, usually of an obnoxious color, like blue, yellow, orange or,
from literature, "scarlet". Used to jumper routing mistakes ;-)
