I am trying to put together different variations of this chip and am curious as to what the verbage is on the chip that I have circled? Is it AMI or Burroughs logo or something else and if so does the second line say 3180?
Sorry for straying offcourse. |
Here's a detailed picture - Burroughs. |

What's the top right corner? Ferrite core memory? |
jupp, core memory (much easier to see than the apollo era flat pack right beside it between the small '50ies tubes) |

1. how do you store your cpus
2. how do you display your cpus
Many of us try to have cross-types, I have mine stored in boxes as I don't have much space, and I can't find a satisfactory way of properly displaying them.
The eye needs his part! |
I often switched here too.
Sometimes I like to see them, sometimes I try to sort them in boxes.
I guess I will keep this display with maybe changing content but of course the good old box does a good job:-) |

Yeah, we should have a warehouse style, one on display "on the box" and the box full of same type chips.
A cpu market. LOL |

These are acrylic compartmented boxes with hinged lids. Since they are transparent, you can see all of the processors from front and back, and the lid on each box keeps them from falling out.
The boxes are portable, so they can go on the coffee table for display, or on the window sill in this photo, or in a drawer out of sight. The compartments make it easy to move chips around, so as new chips are added, they can be kept in order.
The plastic scratches rather easily, so the boxes have to be handled gently. |

Pant Pant.
After hard work I have my new handmade showcase.
Greater and nicer. Now I can store up to 500-550 cpus, even if my collection reach only 295 pieces.
Here a pic. |

I have mine stored in various ways, all are guarded against static and EMI. Some in CPU trays, others in metal or conductive plastic boxes.
My plan is to find some of these flat file cabinets. They are usually large, about 42-54 inches wide, 1-2 inches deep. They are metal, designed to store large drawings and schematics. To buy one new would be 500-1000 USD 
I am hoping to fine them used for less. Here is a photo of one found on the internet.

| I use one of those industrial drawer systems, usually used for tools. It has 7 thin drawers which are perfect for storing chips, but I'm running out of room and will have to have another system as well (doesn't store PIIs) |

It's a mobile pentium SK119, turned upside down so you can see the pins

I have just found how i am going to store my collection properly
Down at the recycling section of my local rubbish tip, I picked up an almost identical metal drawer system in very good condition for US$65.
This one has ten (10) drawers each 1.15m x 0.75m (45" x 29") so it will give me over 8.5 sq metres (90 sq feet) of collection space
It will even take slot xeons lying down, till i need the space or can find a better way to store them.

| Nice! It is so great to have storage like that so you can look at all of your chips. I was amazed how fast mine filled up. I finally decided to store anything that I had trays for separate. |
