Several years ago I used to work for Motorola in one of their 
semiconductor factories. I seem to remember that there was covered 
switch that when thrown would change the factory output from DIL CMOS 
chips to microprocessors without having to go through the process of 
designing the new chips or retooling the factory. It also connected the 
new suppliers. </leg_pull>
