That was a hilarious Sinclair money-saving wheeze, wasn't it?  Of
course, after a couple of years the chips were freely available with
all-good memory so you didn't have to worry about finding one with the
correct working half to match the other installed ones.

This may be my imagination again, but I seem to remember reading a story
about Clive Sinclair rescuing a pile of transistors which had failed
quality testing from someone who was about to incorporate them in the
mix for his new driveway, and using them in the kit he was producing at
the time.  Anyone else heard this?
