Sorry about the terrible pics, can't find the usb cable for my digital camera and had to use my phone.

Has been a fair bit of talk about value of different ICs, figured I would add these to the mix since they are new to me. Each weigh 0.2oz, I have 25 of them. Pretty ugly when on the board, but when removed and you see that shimmer I find them a little prettier.

What did they come out of? Mike.

I bought the board, apparently it came from a very old IBM word processor.

Very pretty...

there's usually a 4 digit number on those starting with a 4xxx which is that? the white and grey ones go for decent money to collectors depending on the number!

This is all the info written on the top of the chip
