Fairlight-CMI

Something I was involved with,

But don't really remember anything specific(!). It was most likely to be "that is what we could get" at the time.

Do remember we had a tough time getting a 16bit ADC for the sampling before sourcing a Matsushita device, and just as much trouble for DACs.  Loretta Craig (the purchasing officer) sent an anniversary card to Burr-Brown after a year an ADC/DAC order was placed.....
