I recently bought this 2 babies (im getting the best chips when outbidding liababua currently, seems he has a lot of money but not as good eyes and memory) - Is the 400 MHz part a Joshua - i think so but who knows for sure?
How much is it worth? What motherboards (bioses) do support Joshuas? I really want run chkcpu or cpu_id on it!

I'm sure it is Joshua and should works on all Socket 370 FCPGA motherboards. If second unit is available to buy I would love to get it at almost any price Smile

Lither uploaded these two to chipdb.org that seems to be in the same family.The Rev 2.2.1 looks the same package wise.

Really nice find by the way!

Nice finding
Is the first chip a VIA C3? (C5B is code ID of C3)
what is its speed?
i have a VIA C3 ES with similiar print

mine is 750

as for the cyrix III , it is a Joshua , some of them were sold around 50/60 USD (ebay) 2 years ago
i guess it worth more than 50 euro now
if you put it on ebay again and add a link to this thread, i guess liababua will bid 100 euro probably
regards!

pictures for chibdb as promised
and my storage

my 3 identical joshuas (i think most of which are known to exist, 2 with minimal ceramic damage) seem to be unsupported by my motherboards, on some they are only getting 1.4v vcore, on some the right 2.2, google only gives a few hits mentioning motherboards/bioses that should support them (a soltek and ga-6wmm)

i'm still thinking whats the right way of selling 2 of them, i think ill give one a try on eBay and the other one ought to go to Marcin, if he's paying enough i think.
PS: i wish i were a millionaire - they would be available for free

Nice storage space you put together UNZL i like how you can access all the chips from either one side or the other. It gives me some ideas because my collection is starting to spread out a bit between the boxes and trays of chips i have around, it would definatly clean up some space for me.
Oh and of course i like the chips too Very Happy
