|
|
I have a good number of these chips and I have reason to believe they are NOS from the Apollo Missions.
Fairchild micrologic 937, 945, and 946
They were acquired through an MIT surplus auction.
MIT worked with the DoD to create the control modules for the first lunar missions.
Dates, Location, Chips... it all matches up.
I really want to verify what these are and perhaps get them authenticated.
I've been going back and forth with the Smithsonian, but it takes almost 2 months for each round of emails.
I could be completely off base here, but evidence seems to say otherwise.
Anybody have any thoughts or info? |

I'm pretty sure they didn't have chips anything like that back in 72 and earlier. _________________ My graphics card database can be found at http://www.gpuzoo.com.

They had flatpacks by the middle of 1960s.
It's one of the earliest packages.
But in apollo guidance computer all flatpacks were 3-input NOR gates with 10 leads, not 14. |
