OLD SEMICONDUCTORS
As part of the process of investigating and repairing old calculators and computers, I've ended up accumulating some interesting "vintage" parts.

SN94281
The SN94281 Complex Sound Generator is a 16-pin sound effects integrated circuit.

The datasheet (this one from Radio Shack) has eight panels.

SN 76477 N COMPLEX SOUND GENERATOR
This is a Texas Instruments SN76477N complex sound generator sold by Radio Shack as catalog number 276-1765.

I had two of these, still in the package - they were traded for some other interesting old items.

C1702A
Eraseable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EPROM) on ceramic base.

I have four of these chips.

MM1702AQ
Eraseable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EPROM) on ceramic base.

I have four of these chips.

MM5837 DIGITAL NOISE GENERATOR
This is a digital noise generator, Radio Shack part number 276-1768.

A kind reader sent some application data which you can read here.

MYSTERY CHIP
Mystery chip.

I have one of these chips.

A viewer has identified the logo as General Instruments.

ANOTHER MYSTERY CHIP
Unmarked, what looks to be an EPROM.

I have seven of these chips.

MYSTERY CHIP
This chip is stamped MM5202AQ but I haven't been able to find out more information about it.

Update: I've been informed that this is the same as a 1702 EPROM.
