It would probably be easy to program a PIC or UBICOM
to GO/NOGO them. Maybe even look for bit pattern
sensitivity or check for speed. I'm building old
8080/6800/8008 stuff, and I'm thinking of using these,
but that's a lot of socket, wire wrap, board real
estate, and time! Wow, do they use power also, even
the low power ones. I prefer using 2114(L)'s, but
those seem to have become a little scarcer and more
expensive recently. OTOH, 2102's are very reliable. If
you have a good #, I'd trade you a 6871 or 6875 - the
6800 clock chips, surprisingly hard to find/expensive
- for some.
