Do you collect EPROM's?

[CPUShack]

If so any particular focus?
Brand?
Color?

I've started collecting Eproms by accident. I was sent 15 and noy they are sat in the middle of my display waitig to be organised.

There are some AMD some Intel, ST, Mitsibushi, NEC and Mostek, grey black purple and ceramic.

I have no idea how to organise them - I know absolutely ZILCH about Eproms.. but here is the list:

Intel D8741A x 2 ceramic
Intel D878H ceramic
AMD AM2732BDC ceramic
AMD AM7960DC x 2 ceramic
AMD AM2732DC ceramic
NEC D8748HD x 2 ceramic
ST Z84C20AB6 Black PDIP
MOSTEK MK2716T PURPLE ceramic
MISTUBISHI M5L2732K x 2 ceramic
FUJITSU MBM2732-45 ceramic
FUJITSU MBM2732-35 ceramic

Hope that helps

I could end up with all sorts, as I am not focussing on any one type of eprom. I started collecting them recently when I stripped down a MAC II and a Commodore A500, both with dead screens. I decided that they would fit nicely in my collection and hey presto...

I haven't sorted through what eproms I have properly (got more than just what came from those two systems), I'll do so soon. I'm still cataloguing my CPUs...

I colelct them only if they look cool, and erm.. cheap.

Well, since I came here, I guess I pretty much boosted the whole Eprom fame .
Always bugging everyone to Start selling them here hehe !


But anyways, I suppose you could say I absolutely love em' !!!
Their different colors, and designs make them vary special to me, plus, this "craz" is realy starting to hit people more and more!

I do know the value of many makes and brands ,and let me tell you, some are'nt cheap <---

I love pretty well all Eproms, but I rave for the color ones, gold ones ,and rare(limited).



My Eprom collection is now sorring at 1123 + more not counted

when i think i have enough rare ones and i have them all catalogued and sorted out, then i'll be looking into it for sure but right now i'm mostly collecting. Plus noone would really want to see my bubble pics.

Here is my eprom collection. Not many compared to Cpushack and Glin Glin. I like the white ceramic/ gold types best.

My question for CPUshack and Glin Glin is: what would you consider to be the "grand daddy" of eprom collecting? Are there any chips you think are the most rare, most historical, most desirable?

[CPUShack]

hehe I want your AMD 1702 white.

grand-daddy of EPROMs? Hands down the Intel 1701. Next up would be a 1702 (grey trace no prefix, no suffix)

I think I'd like to satrt collecting Eproms, but only older ones ( white / Purple)

I have 14 different Grey Eproms here that I'd be willing to trade .. see 2nd post.
