Chip identification needed

[johnorun]

I found these chips in a scrap lot.
Can anyone identify any of these?

Motorola 19-22585-03, NPAR-03
TMS 2507JC
WESTON 279344

Thanks for the info!

any info on the WESTON?

The Motorola chip is a ECL (bipolar) LSI gate array and it likely came from a DEC VAX 8600 or 8700 CPU. These arrays have a complexity of 700-1000 NAND gates and were designed in-home by DEC using a specific homemade software (the so-called MOSAIC) and then fabricated by Motorola. You can find Motorola ECL arrays in many DEC products as well as in several Data General ECLIPSE minicomputers and in the Burroughs Series A servers.

Thanks for these details, Paulo.
Is this a chip important enough to be worth collecting?
...or better for scrap?

Difficult to say... It isn't a CPU so, if You are a collector of vintage microprocessors, it will be a "stranger" in Your collection. It's indeed a unusual chip (in the years, bipolar technologies - ECL and so on - have been overshadowed by CMOS). These chips aren't rare and they are not worth so much.
