Can anyone id these HP ICs?

Hi Joe,

The only reason that I can come up with for HP's construction techniques is
that their IC's were made during the heyday of HP's own IC division. They
overbuilt everything, probably because of reliability concerns. Other people
certainly will know more about this than I do, but I think that HP was one
of the earliest developers/fabricators of ECL.

Thanks in advance for the manual!

Regards,
Stan

Hi Stan,

  Thanks for the info. Any idea whey the fancy construction? I've dealt
with ECL before but never seen anything like this.

  BTW I'm made copies of that memory board manual for you. It's packed and
ready to ship. I'll try to drop it off at the post office today.
