    The problem with tulip clones is a bit different. Imagine if each SYS53C8XX
    chip had ten clone versions that each understood 90% of the official
    instruction set and had different magically unique bugs some of which were
    not documented.

    Dealing with things like GPIO variants, LED wiring, custom NVRAM is a bit
    cleaner. The very core of the tulip clones is variable
