Tell us a story about this one

This was one of a hundred chips we pulled out today and I thought it might be an interesting talking point, then again I might be wrong....

Pretty straightforward.... looks like a PGA adaptor ( the clue is PGA on the bottom) and that thing sticking out on the side looks like a voltage regulator. I'd say that was most likely an upgrade chip. Can we have a scan of the top please? before I dig a hole for myself to fall into

ok.. I found the other picture. You can post them to the same thread without starting a new thread for each picture.

How do I do that ??
Can you tell that I am new to this

[JAC]

No problem.. we were all new once. Just post a reply to the thread you created. Use the "Post reply" button at the bottom. Then you will be able to upload another image. Dont use the quick reply box.

Also, it is not a vintage chip. There is another board above this one for modern chips. See the sticky at the top of each board for guidlines. It helps keep the boards running smoothly (and we dont want to disturb the ancient chip collectors. lol )
