Likely the former Eastern block (USSR etc) completely reversed a lot of
electronics and computers. From experience, certain east european
country made very good clonings of Apple II (8 bit) under the name
Pravetz 8* (Ð?Ñ?авеÑ? 8*). AFAIK I know, the CPU chips were eastern too.
Haven't seen this personally, but one reversing approach was to "peel"
the chip, taking snapshots. The western capitalists learnt this and
placed explosives in the chips, which went boom at peeling. Don't know
the end of this story.
