Well, that's not an ultimate collector chip, but it's a must for 68000 collection:

I got a 68000L and a 68000L8 - is an L4 'more special'?

Well, my favorites are the East German 8008 clone FWE U808D, the first Eastern Block clone of a western processor:


and my Intergraph Clipper C4, the first processor to use superscalar instruction dispatch and superpipelined operation:

Nothing special about it, it's difficult to find. Kind of like 80286-4, 80386-12 and 80486SX-16.

Yes, this could be a really rare processor in the future. Smile

How about:
* Philips TM1100 = TriMedia processor (of course a TM1000 would be even better.)
* RCA CDP1802C, the first micro processor made in CMOS process.
* NEC D780C, a Z80. does that count as interesting?

It's a modern chip, I doubt many collectors (if any) will consider it an ultimate chip.

That's a good one. I think it's parent - RCA CDP1801 - may qualify for an ultimate chip:

D780C is not rare, it's not difficult to find one.

As far as ICs go, these early-1960s logic chips are the rarest of the rare:

Bar none, there is no equal. They're not microprocessors, but who cares. And they definitely didn't come cheap... 54 chips @ $200 apiece in 1963 for 3 NASA circuit boards works out to about $65,000 in today's currency. If you can find some NOS, you're sitting on a gold mine.

My favourite seems to be a platform for chip design. It has 1800 pins at the backside and is very heavy.
The markings are 17830 076 and 96x63 81. At the backside someone scratched A275375. No manufacturer sign. All the dees are visible from the backside and there is one golden hardwire.
Although I have no idea what it might be I love it just because it is so odd.
If anyone knows somthing about it I would be happy to read his reply.

The RCA 1801 set would be up there too, along with the "Godbout" G8008, and Intel C8080B.

Looks very IBM-ish to me. Also, 96x6381 is typical IBM FRU part number. Here's picture of very similar IBM kit:

Hey,

thanks a lot for that post, I also have the piece that is visible on the left corner. Now I know they really belong together.

Thanks a lot.

Actually, IBM calls this technology TCM (Thermal conduction module). Uses water cooling.
