work. Need usual stuff - backups and updates etc.

A thermionic version may not be considered environmentally friendly right
now. 8,500 filaments per Z80.

multiple circuit elements in a single envelope since one filament
can heat more than one cathode.

An integrated thermionic valve? Or thermally enclosed chip? No, can't

call it a chip as there would be no silicon. Integrated thermally
enclosed multi-cathode array. That trips off the tongue...
We are seeing the future.

supposedly used the heat from the rocket motor to head a plate that
had loads of thermionic valves on its surface. I guess it had to fly
unguided for a few seconds from launch. Could have been a development
project that went nowhere though. In more ways than one.

I don’t know about that but I have seen a nuclear device that was kept warm

To err is human. To really foul things up requires a computer and the BOFH.
