Not exactly. As I recall, National or maybe Signetics had a run
of FUBAR chips. So they gave them xxxNFG part numbers, and had a
data sheet made for "Write Only Memory". The AN showed it being
used as an electronic bitbucket, etc.

This was in 1971 or 72. If you ordered the data sheet/sample;
you likely also got a set of Groucho glasses so "you can sneak
into the office even if your colleagues find out"....

A friend has the data sheet, and maybe still the glasses/nose.
