I experimented with breaking down the boards buy it didn't seem worthwhile to for different reasons. Time vs. reward, job hazards, and so on.
Tend to think of the square flatpacks as being one thing. The square IC's that sit in a socket and pop out another. Similar ones that are soldered to the board yet another. Some things that functioned as early processors yet another. More modern processors that are directly soldered to the board something else. Then you've got the rectangular IC's.
There might be some money in sorting them all out if you have a buyer for the different varieties.
The thing is that it takes a lot of those little buggers to make a pound. Sometimes you can get too fussy with a thing ?
