Since? we? have? nice? microscopes at? the museum? project? we? were? hired? to? photo?
some IC? innards? years? back. This? ended? up? becoming? a minor obsession? for? a short?
time? as? the? artwork under? various? illuminations? is? fantastic.??
One of the things? that? seemed? to show the mots? difference in? detail between layers
and highs? etc... was? differential? interference contrast? (after? nomorski (sp?) ( this?
was on our? Ziess Ultraphot? and? seems? to be? a Zeiss? only? ? offering.0? ?on? the?
Japanese? side of? things? Nikon? had? ?Yrancion Yamamotto (sp?)? method? which? seems?
?nice? ? but? I? preferred? the? ?Nomeriski.
Using? these? ?methods? you? may be? able? to extract? more usable? detail? ?than? with
traditional methods.? ?and? wow? the? color? photos? are? ?frame-able!
But? ?kinda? what? I? wanted to mention? to is? depending? on? what? era? ?the chips?
were? the? over? coatings? ? seemed? to? worsen? the view? the newer the chip? or? so? I?
thought at the? time.
Such? great? ?fun? to? photo? ?the? little? ic innards!? ?even? a? standard? ?illum.?
?scope? with the? vertical? episcopic? illumination? gives? ?some? ? fun? photos? too,?
especially? on the? earlier? ?chips.
Don't? know? if? any? of? ?this? will help on the? HP-01? roms? but? sure? was? fun to
talk about? again

Only just within the last month I finally obtained a ROM dump from a production HP-01, for
potential use in my Nonpareil simulator. Previously I only had the preproduction code
listed in a US patent. I'm not sure when I'll have time to actually work on the
simulation, though.
My original plan had been to crack open an HP-01 module and try to read the ROM bits
optically, as Peter Monta did for the HP-35. However, that didn't work, probably due
to a passivation coating on the ROM dies.
