I've seen some POKEY chips (40 pin package) for sale that say they've been refurbished.
If one of these guys goes south (say on on a Tempest when the sound flakes out and drops and the spinner won't move) I just ended up replacing it with one I had on hand.
Can this chip be reprogrammed somehow? It doesn't have a window on it...
Anyway--I just wondered what refurbished POKEY meant. Or maybe the seller means re-purposed?
