Rather odd packaging, ?though, ?64-pin "shrunk" DIP. ?I did manage to snag a

going to have to drill a bunch of holes in my perfboard or bend the pins or
something to use it.
I have a board someone gave me to strip for parts - it has some
7-segment LEDs and a few other bits of interest (it looks like the
front panel for some sort of electronic instrument). I wasn't
planning on extracting the CPU, but I could.
Difficulties with working with the package format are certainly
coloring my opinion about wanting to re-use it. I have a couple of
"real" 6800s and 6802s. I guess I'd have to read the 6303 datasheet
to determine if it had any features that made it interesting enough to
attempt to reuse.
