I'm not at home right now, but I believe I have a bag full of Amber chips. Yes, I know, it's a weird thing to have. Problem is I have no way to test them. I'll check when I get home tonight to confirm what they are and what revision if applicable.

I also have a few 3000 Motherboards (old blue versions non working) which might have some of the Amber chips on them. I know, also an odd thing to have.

Okay, I looked in the magic bag and I do have Amber chips. 51 in good shape (no pins bent or only a couple very slightly bent)

then a further 36 with bent pins :(

I also have 12 Ramsey chips!

Amber chips are all numbered

CSG
390538-01
51-AMBER 4
c(M) CBM 1989
5189      50006C

This without even looking at the pre release blue version 3000 motherboards to see if any still have the socketed chips on them.
