   Never mind; more reading yields the answer. It came from Apple Computer, per   
   the Cortland documentation that Kelvin Sherlock referred to in his previous   
   article.   
      
   From page 27 of the Custom ICs document:   
      
   "The Mega II, shown in Figure 10, has virtually all the characteristics of   
   an Apple II on a chip; it supports a slotted architecture and has built-in   
   peripherals."   
      
   -+-   
      
   But I think it got corrupted into "a complete Apple IIe on a chip," which   
   definitely isn't correct.
