Went to the local scrap yard

[FDIV]

Today I went to my local scrap yard and dug through hundreds of old machines most of which had already been gotten to but I found a couple of things. This is an information request because although I know what much of it is much of it I do not. I also have no Idea how to get the lsi chips soldered to the huge board off! any ideas? Most of the stuff I found is not x86 and I collect almost soley x86 so the following items are for sale or trade... both eeproms, the s8404, the lsi's attached or detached, and the card with 2 supersparcs. If you have any information on the eeproms or the s8404 please give me a yell. If you want to buy or trade for the stuff up for sale pm me.

Thanks

How in the world do you get permission to walk into a junkyard and just browse through a pile of PC's ?
I've tried that before and all they keep saying is, sorry but we have to salvage all the parts, because they go to some BS they keep coming with.

Just lucky I guess. I called around in the yellow pages to all the local "recyclers" that accepted computers and this one agreed to let me take a look. I think the guys a schitzo though because after I had been digging for 3 hours he sent a dude to "watch" me. I got the sense it was time to go. He also wouldn't even let me see the box of processors they had already stripped despite the fact that I told him I would pay him quite hansomly for the black pentium pros and socket 4 pentiums which I knew he had from talking to his lacky and seeing the empty sockets on the motherboards. I don't think he was the brightest bulb in the box. In any case I'm afraid that was my last trip to that scrap yard. It's two bad that such and ignorant fool runs that place. If he had half a brain he'd list his stuff on e-bay. Hell, if he had a quarter of a brain he'd be doing even better selling some of those old proliant servers to companies. Quad pIII xenon rack mount servers are still worth a pretty penny. Moron, PIII's don't even have much gold in them.

hmm - I thought I had posted a reply wqith some info for you earlier but it has disappeared.

The first link returned in google on a search for hte bottom chip shows:

ADC0800PCD, 8-Bit A/D converter in 18-pin D18A package. Operational temperature range from 0°C to 70°C

Thanks debs. It makes sense. That chip (as well as the 6800, and the eeproms) all came out of some proprietary device for hooking up Instruments (music) to a computer. I suppose you would definately need and A-D converter
