I rescued this NexGen from a scrap lot

Likely the only PF1xx I will be able to afford.

You can clearly see the nice MCM made by IBM for NexGen

Was the ceramic already broken before you opened it or did it happen while opening?

Good to know how it looks inside. K6 shares core design and the glue Laughing

BTW: What is the price for PF? Or how much would you bid at eBay action if there be any? Obviously $500 is too much for everyone.

Can it be still functional?
Die chip is small, and ceramic one is not awfully big, should not reach inner traces.
Absent three capacitors can be in parallel with others.
How are the pins?
Can you test it?
