What, pray tell, could these 'rare and valuable' chips be? ACIA's? The only way *any* of this stuff could be 'rare and valuable' is if they are the only ones that haven't found their way to an ashcan. I would have problems adding this stuff to the Ritchie Home for Obsolete Computing if it was *given* to me, much less buying it. Good luck - maybe someone from portal will buy it from you. This stuff is overpriced by 1 to 2 orders of magnitude. Dave
