Jdaasoc,

Many years ago I designed a medical electronic device which used a Hitachi 63701 microprocessor with EPROM on-chip. The 63701 was a very nice device, based on the Motorola 6800 family but with some excellent enhancements - and of course the on-chip one-time-programmable EPROM.

Motorola objected - it seems that Hitachi had gone beyond the scope of a licensing agreement between the two companies. The final outcome was, I believe, that Hitachi settled out of court and withdrew the 63701 from the market after customers were given the opportunity for a "last time purchase". My product had to be redesigned.

John
