We broke chips to find out if they are real
Added 2020-01-31 02:14:01 +0000 UTCMy friend Antoine (you'll get to meet him soon) just showed us a new method to recover chips from plastic packages without using nasty chemicals. Which is timely because I suspected some vintage chips I bought from China might have been fakes. We freed the chips. Ken's verdict: they were the real thing, a rare injection process from TI in the 1970's. Antoine loves chips, see what he once sent Dave on EEVBlog:
