Clipper chip datasheet?
I've taken an interest in this little guy recently and I've managed to find a fair bit of information in the form of retrospectives and a few academic papers, but nothing more technical. Considering it's been defunct for decades I'm surprised datasheets and manuals aren't easier to find online (or maybe it's just me?). Does anybody happen to know if/where any such material can be found? Thanks.

I don't know about docs, but you can buy the devices themselves in bulk: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SPYRUS-FORTEZZA-CARDS-CASE-OF-100-FREE-SHIPPING-/201... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-of-200-spyrus-Fortezza-Compatible-Smart-Cards-fo... As Lucky Green recently pointed out to me, the government's previous attempt at backdooring crypto is now being sold as scrap. Peter.
