 |
|
I just received these 2 boards from Ebay.
They look so nice that I hate to remove the gold chips.
Can you tell me anything about the gold chips on the IBM card?
The larger Gold chip is a: WGA30764.
4 smaller gold chips are: AD1589326
The green dips are white ceramic under the glossy paint. Most are dated 1985.
The CPU chips on the VME board are: motorola XC68030RC20A and NEC FGA-002A. Are these desirable chips? |

If you have enouth place, I think keeping boards is better than keeping only chips.
IBM should be a mainframe board, but not a CPU board.

Yupp, if you have the space, keep them on the board. Its always nicer to see the chip in its "natural" enviroment.
