    PSA : Be Careful buying proms on eBay

    After buying and selling proms and eproms for over 20 yrs, you tend to learn a thing or two, so I figured I would share some insight on a new [bad] trend I am seeing more often now .... : Sellers selling chips as NEW, when I know they are not. This is especially important for [bipolar] proms...

    Spotting Fake/Re-Furb Eproms

    Finding new sources of eprom supplies is getting harder as production of these chips ceased 40+ years ago, and supplies are diminishing. This has led to an increase of fakes or more accurately described as "re-furbished" (re-furbs) . It's not that these won't work necessarily, but they are...
