I have a come into an opportunity which people here might help with.
The opportunity is a 75 to 100# box of Eproms. So far w/o any major
skimming yielded 2732's 2764's 27128's 27512's and the 1mb 27 series
(don't recall the # right now)>
I also found a couple of parts that traced back to an HP inhouse 27128
part from AMD.
These were recently pulled from a warehouse full of printer material,
and are were just packed loose in a 12" x 12" x 12" box for gold scrap.
Since there was not manpower or time to sort, this what I got. There
are other boxes of NOS which I will deal with later.
Any ideas on what to do, what the chances are that they will work? I
don't have the means or time to do testing, though recent discussion
suggest there might be some cheap eprom programmer which might do that.
I have never blown up a prom from normal handling, w/o antistat but with
the shear number of parts here, the odds are that some are blown. I am
handling these now with antistat, but the prior situation is what it is.
Should I sort them by part, list them with a "if it doesn't work I'll
send you another", sell them as untested pull lots (I will sort and tube
them by type a and PN as my contribution to this project), or some other
way?
I'm guessing 10000 or more parts, don't know for now. also there could
be other parts at lower layers, for now w/o pulling them and risk
physical or electrical damage all I see are eproms and some junk pals
which will go back into the stew for gold recycle.
thanks
Jim
