We discovered this winning poker hand on a Digital Equipment Company (DEC) CVAX microprocessor, the brains behind the DEC MicroVAX 3000 and 6200 series of mini-computers. Bob Supnik, an ex-chip designer for DEC, loaned us the chip and provided information about the silicon doodle. The slogan reads: "$... The Dream Is Always The Same", which represents the dream of the silicon team to produce the first Digital microprocessor to boot VMS on first pass silicon. The ace up the sleeve represents the Rigel, the next microprocessor in the series.
