[Jedi08]

I guess it´s an engineering sample but especially for ICE?

yah provided with an In-Circuit-Emulator no doubt

And now, it`s mine. Hehe...

Despite the chips, a really rare CPU.
Does somebody know anything about how the complete ICE look like?

"The next type of ICE used a modified CPU, commonly called a "bond-out CPU." The bond-out CPU was an ordinary microprocessor with some extraordinary capabilities. This type of CPU was given its name because certain pins were bonded out from the silicon to the external microprocessor pins. These pins were marked as no-connects by Intel, and were usually not connected to anything on the ordinary production silicon. The bond-out version of the microprocessor connected some of these pins to pads of the silicon, giving the microprocessor its special ICE features. This would include all CPUs were produced for all Intel x86 processors from the 80186/88 to the 80486."
