I have obtained a bunch of Apple IIe logic boards. Looking over them, I noticed something I've never seen before... Where the 65x02 CPU would normally sit, there's a "8346 G" chip in its place. The board boot just fine, and it runs the IIe diagnostics processor test without a problem. So this chip must be 65x02 compliant. Did Apple ship the Apple IIe's with this chip? Or, did the previous owner add this chip himself? More on the logic board... 607-0164-B 1982. It was pulled from an Apple IIe with the white-lettered keys. Thanks! :) --- Bryan
The 6502 was made under license by several manufacturers but they normally have 6502 printed on the chip package. However, I'm sure I remember seeing one once that didn't have the 6502 number printed on it. On the other hand 8346 sounds more like a date code (1983, week 46), is there definitely nothing else printed on it?
