Default "Jungle" IC

Anyone know why it's called "jungle" ?


Because it's swampy mess that's swarming with exotic animals. It's a
chip where they've thrown in as many functions as they can, to keep
down the chip count. Canon used to use the name 'Octopus chip' for the
same sorts of chips, & some of their Octopus chips even had a cartoon
of an octopus on the package.
