Reverse engineering a custom CPU from a single program

I'm curious as to why you call the package "DIL" instead of "DIP". I've never heard them called "DIL" before.

They're interchangeable depending on what literature you read. Funnily enough, like ATM machine, DIP package can be redundant, being equivalent to "dual in-line package package".

I think I just picked this up from my father, who’s an old-school hardware hacker. So it’s either oldfashioned lingo (he’s been retired 20 years or so) or British or both :) Or perhaps I’m just confused, given I’m mainly a software guy.

i'm gonna guess it's because L and P are next to each other on the keyboard.
