Invention of the black LED

I found a scan of the datasheet for the Electro-Voice SP13.5TRBXWK

That one also had to be printed on the first day of an April or something like that.

The problem with that chip is that it can handle only weak, low power bits. "10uW/BIT TYPICAL" (per the datasheet)

Low power bits get tired quickly, and shatter easily. If you've ever done any bit banging with them, you'll know that! I believe that's why the chip had very low acceptance by professionals.

But it is still highly valued by audio professionals [1] because of its 6.3 volt filament power input. It imparts a "tube sound" to the write-only bits.

Now i have to go double check, i thought mine had a Raytheon logo. Gotta love that V(ff) though.

That data sheet is very different from the one i have. I will post it when i come across it.

Your cheeks and tongue must be much stronger than mine.
