       My advice is to ignore TMS2716's. TI should be shot for using the same
       number (2716) for a three-voltage version of the one-voltage 2716.

Good advice, but you have shot the wrong people. The TI (3 voltage)
2716 was a quite correctly numbered compatible follow-on product to
the (3 voltage) 2708 and 2704 series. It was also available well
before the 1-voltage product. It is Intel that ought to be shot for
giving the same family number to a radically different device.
