Isn't this part of the premise of the book Hackers? Haven't read it in like 25 years, but that's what I vaguely remember.

I don't recall this coming up in Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution, but it was definitely in The Soul of A New Machine, the story about Data General trying to build their first 32-bit computer.

Thank you... it was Soul of a New Machine. I don't think I even ever read Hackers!
