Responding to: ???'s previous message
What Erik's pointed out is, of course, also plausible, though I'd wonder why the expense of relabelling is necessary to fill the order.

I was told that the chips were relabelled for 1M unit shipment to a customer they wanted to sell the higher grade to (at a higher price). I can be 'dangerous' to substitute, for free, a better product, some customers will state "keep it up" and what do you do?. Far be it from me to discuss the intricacies of marketing, I just tell the story.

         for decades, 5% was "standard." What's changed?            01/01/70 00:00      
         What standard do you mean??            01/01/70 00:00

               Don't you test your circuits?            01/01/70 00:00      
                  it's already a pain...            01/01/70 00:00      
                     if you do, I'll take my cap off to you :)            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Consider the specifications            01/01/70 00:00

         No such thing as luck in any acceptable design sce            01/01/70 00:00      
            everyday we learn something...            01/01/70 00:00      
         Check it with a >5.0V outputting 7805!            01/01/70 00:00      
            it will work...            01/01/70 00:00      
               oh 'testing'            01/01/70 00:00      
            Getting more than 5 v from 7805            01/01/70 00:00      
               I would use a resistor instead of a diode            01/01/70 00:00      
                  see the datasheet, it shows how to do that...            01/01/70 00:00      
                     It's noise, I guess...            01/01/70 00:00      
                        some noise            01/01/70 00:00      
               the u (micro) is only specified to 5.25 or 5.5 Vol            01/01/70 00:00      
   I just had an idea...            01/01/70 00:00      
      Don't go off chasing that rabbit!            01/01/70 00:00

            Safe side...            01/01/70 00:00      
         Exactly            01/01/70 00:00      
      Getting low output...            01/01/70 00:00      
   get this in your head            01/01/70 00:00      
      Not so fast...            01/01/70 00:00      
         oh, how many designs have failed because            01/01/70 00:00      
            No, no, I have not said this            01/01/70 00:00      
            it depends on the source ...            01/01/70 00:00      
               Yes,...            01/01/70 00:00      
                  There's a critical difference ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Of course, there is!!            01/01/70 00:00      
                        whst do you refer to?            01/01/70 00:00      
                           This was in the '70's, before many restrictions            01/01/70 00:00      
                              caught by "legal relabeling".            01/01/70 00:00
