MM5203Q, white ceramic/gold. The window isn't as thick as on yours. Date code 525 - 1975 week 25.

Next is an Intel D8742 microcontroller with 2k eprom, 1979 week 12.

Neither is very old, but they are nice Smile

I can not tell how old my early Eprom's are as they have no datecode and Intel didn't started to put datecodes until 1975.
My earliest is a 1702 non C-prefix and non A-suffix with no datecode and they started making these in 1972.
Intel was the first company to make an Eprom in january 1971.

Nice 1702's! The grey stripes differ from each other though.

I have a lot of Intel chips with earlier datecode than 75.

I am sure they started before '73.
