FAST(Mxxx devices) devices (Fairchild Advanced Schottky Technology) were the current hot thing when I first started. A couple of years later we introduced FACT (Cxxx) devices (Fairchild Advanced CMOS Technology) along with the first AC/DC test platforms in the house, the MCT2000 based on x86. Then National bought Fairchild and they pared down the duplicate device offerings. In most cases they kept the Fairchild parts and discontinued the equivalent National part. Those MCT2000s were real workhorses. We upgraded the CPUs every couple of years to reduce test time.
