Default Re: HP Part Numbers

Plenty of the 'selected' ones were not necessarily for better performance parameters. They were sometimes for things like more extensive testing, or corrosion testing or statistical checking of life expectancy with accelerated tests at elevated temperature.

I'd have to go look at HP's specification control document for each part to see what was special. and I don't have access to that database any longer... it was all microfiche in 80-column card stuff, and I guess it's buried in landfill, somewhere.
