The content of the page is ENTIRELY wrong.

The Motorola MC10800 family was an 8-bit bit-slice family.

The Fairchild F100K family was a comprehensive ECL logic family, with everything from gates to MSI, but (AFAIK) no 8-bit bit-slice parts.

:Well, the whole article is half a sentence, but you're right the 100K was a high-speed ELC logic family. Not a slice family. I'll update it in a bit. --[[User:ChipIt|ChipIt]] ([[User talk:ChipIt|talk]]) 03:21, 27 May 2017 (EDT)

: Hey guys, I'll need to do some digging to find an updated databook but Fairchild indeed released a handful of LSI ECL 100K chips for 8-bit slicing including buffers, shift register, and a basic 74181-style chip. There is a possibility they were branded differently maybe it was around the time National squired them in 87 or so. It's also possible they never had large availability. --[[User:Inject|Inject]] ([[User talk:Inject|talk]]) 05:12, 27 May 2017 (EDT)

:: You're right!! I found it!

:: "Our F100K family includes the F100K SSI/MSI, F200 Gate Array, '''and a totally new member, the micro-programmed F220 8-bit slice family.'''" Looks like the article (And Inject was right). Fairchild boundled the F220 (which are just 10022x parts) with the entire F100K family. Do we want to split them up or keep the info in both? --[[User:ChipIt|ChipIt]] ([[User talk:ChipIt|talk]]) 06:32, 27 May 2017 (EDT)

−	::: Awesome thank you for finding that! If my memory serves me right there was even 16-bit slice parts introduced way later on too! We're going to have to find old databooks for those because people are clearly thinking we're wrong or making stuff up and that's not very good --[[User:Inject\|Inject]] ([[User talk:Inject\|talk]]) 06:47, 27 May 2017 (EDT)
