<Newbie question----got a bunch of boards from HP terminals [2640 and
<2645A's]
<that I thought had either 8008 or 8080A chips----boards are marked
<"processor" and the socketed processor chip is brown or white ceramic
<with a gold "lid"---only markings are 1820-1701 on one line and I assume
<a serial # on the next [7629P, 7707P, 78126GP, etc]--also has what looks
<to be the AMD logo---up to the right slanting "arrow" shape.
< Some of the identical looking boards do have 8008 or 8080A
<installed---What do I have here??
The same thing with a HP "house number". The older cpus were often
ceramic/gold until later and better plastics or cheaper grey or brown
ceramic started to appear.
