Yes Jim, I agree with what you say.
I regard it as a one of a kind custom chip which happens to utilise a genuine core.
The nature of manufacture means DW could never produce two identical ones.

I will say again that while I by no means agree with all that DW does, his work on these is a fine art, and I am even less bothered when its done using cores of little or no value.

That said, being as this core is a current issue chip, I wonder what the possible scenarios would be if someone tried to cash it?
