Speaking of gold-plated chips, I'm finally scrapping the last remnants of a
Redactron mag card word processor; the main board has some house numbered
white ceramic chips with the usual gold pins and lids (24, 40, 16 pins).
Any interest for decoration/jewelry/exploration/whatever?
Also some Burroughs boards with their odd square package.
Finally, some Burroughs memory boards containing what I think are 2102s,
but I'd have to investigate.

Earlier chips would have gold and later ceramic or
black to save money.
With RAM being expensive it was common to take whatever you had and toss it
in your next system or an expansion card so that may be what you're seeing
from a previous owner.

Well the latgest question I have is whether
early NEC chips with any

were commonly used to populate tne 5162. And if
your lids aren't gold
plated, is the lid aluminum or some related alloy?
