Hi,
I cam across your posting and wanted to see if you also collected IC's?
Finding other collectors is a rarity for me so I thought I would shoot
you and e-mail. I collect clones (russian, eastern block, etc.), Intel
engineering samples and any IBM cpus.

I prefer to keep the ICs in the boards ;-)
I bought a decent haul of PDP-11/23 stuff from a guy in Australia,
having outbid a chip collector by a penny or two at the last minute.
Those boards are now assembled up in a spare BA23 I had, sitting in a
mate's workshop where it occasionally gets fired up and played with.
I like having butterflies in my garden, too. Butterflies flying around,
not dead in little boxes.

I do collect (well, accumulate) ICs, but I intend to use them as spares
for machines that I own/use. I know that one day I will need that 8008 to
fix a PDP11/34 front panel, or whatever.
But I personally have no desire to have a 'stamp collection' of supposedly
rare ICs sitting in conductive foam.

That's a good way of putting it.

Which is just as well, as you'd probably ahev to worry about the
foam going "off" and corroding the chip legs. Or so I read every
now and then ...
Luckily none of my foam is that old yet.

Seconded. Chip collectors are to computer collectors like a hypothetical
"nut and bolt" collector would be to a vintage car collector. Could you
imagine: "I don't have room for a model T Ford so I took it apart and made
this great display of the nuts and bolts. I threw the rest of the junk
away. It was all dirty. Look at my collection. They're sorted by
diameter,
thread pitch, Phillips/flat head..."

It would be a nice web page with big photos :oD

They don't quite meet your criteria, but I've got several CPUs posted
at the VCGM right now including a nice ceramic TI 8080 and a Signetics
N8X300.
I've got others going up as I find time.
These are not being cannibalized from boards, either, so no
butterflies on pins here!
