A Computer Chip Trivet

A Computer Chip Trivet by oskay.
It's a useful little thing that you can make out of all those chips that you have with "BAD" written on them. Well, all the ones in ceramic packages, anyway!

Is that a couple of transputers in there, T225s (the 16-bit ones)? I used to work for INMOS, you see, and wrote software for those. Although, my favourite transputer was the M212, the disk controller one with the dual 8-bit I/O ports and 2k of on-chip RAM.

Cool, and yes!

Zooming in on the pictures, I can see the INMOS IMST225 and a IMST805 32-bit transputer. I've also got an old IMSC004, which didn't make it into the trivet. (Wikipedia has a page about transputers.)

Some of the other interesting things in there are the Motorola XC96002 DSP, four NS32202 interrupt controllers, two 68020s, two 68881s, two ADSP-2111 microcomputers, and two AD7886 ADCs.
