  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 
2640 (and maybe 2644, I can't remember) terminals have 8008s,
2641/2645/2648 terminals have 8080s (on different processor boards of
course).  An 8080 would likely be in a 40-pin DIP (Dual In-line
Package, meaning two rows of pins).  An 8008 would be in a smaller
DIP but I can't remember how small off the top of my head.

  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 
18xx-xxxx is an HP component part number (if you buy enough chips, you
can get the manufacturer to stamp them with your part number too), and
the 7xxx is probably a date code (two digits of year and two digits of
week-within-year).

  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?? 
Some boards made with HP house-marked AMD parts, some boards made with
Intel parts?
