id Software's Doom having port 666 (unofficially) assigned is a nice touch.




Another similar trivia is present in PCI-IDs. Intel got 8086 for themselves.

Some other notable examples:

    Broadcom/LSI: 1000
    Motorola: c0de
    Chrysalis-ITS: cafe
    Blackmagic bdbd
    Indigita Corporation dead
    Middle Digital Inc. deaf
    Elcus e1c5
    Eagle Tech ea01
    Essence Tech e55e
    Echo ecc0
    Daiblo Tech db10
    Canny Edge caed
    CACE Tech cace
There are many more examples, but it's enough, I think.
