IC Assistance needed.

So, Several weeks ago I purchased a HUGE assortment of electronics at a garage sale for $10.00. Within this assortment are loads of IC's. Some of them, such as the 555 and 556 timers I know what to do with. However, for the most of them I am unsure as to what they would be good for. Aftr searching the Internet I found a few that are related to the old Asteroids game. I am wondering if there is anyone that can go through the list and make some suggestions as to what I could make with any of them. I am attaching the list. If you can help, let me know if there are any of the IC's you need/want and I will send them out to you.

    Did you google them all already? Are there data sheets readily available? How do they relate to astroids? Astoids is old enough that it would have been done in 100% hardware, Im intrested to know which of those are specifically for astroids and what there function is. I mean woz built breakout with off the shelf logic gates and other chips to generate the ntsc clock signal. Or do you mean there out of like an atari cartridge lol didnt even think of that :)

    I did Google some of the chips. I got busy doing other things and really have not had time to get back to it. I can not specifically remember what it was or which IC it was but in reading up on one of them it did mention Asteroids. That popped out as I was an avid player while in Germany in the Military of Asteroids. My wife and I dropped many quarters in to that game, probably enough to have bought one!!!! I plan to do more research but thought if anyone could help out, members of this forum would be a good start. I believe a lot of them are related to older style video games and some have to do with TV's.

    Google vintage arcade game repair to find some repair shops that might buy your chips.

    @Circuitsoft, Thanks for this info. Any suggestions as to what to use them on?

    @erco. Great idea, as soon as I figure out which are are for arcade games I will do that.

    z8671 Thats pretty sweet id download the data sheet and see what its all about, you mentioned you dont have a prop well you have a z80 micro controller :). I went to zilogs site a while back and couldnt find any of there micros in dip cases

    Note, it's not a z80, it is a z8 which is a very different architecture, though it has a similar instruction set.

    Symantics.... lol. Sorry for that, a Zilog z80 is an old micro processor while as the chip you have is Zilog micro controller, like circuitsoft said similar intructions to a z80 cpu, these were use in Sinclair, Altair, and trs80 to name a few. Anyways like I said if its a dip thats a pretty good find if you decide your not into it maybe we can work something out after I pa-ruse the data sheet

    So am I to assume the Z80 works the same way as a prop? I found a datasheet archive on the Internet. I am about half way through the list in getting the data sheets. Once that is done I will be able to figure more out. In the mean time, if anyone sees anything of interest let me know.

    Edit: I was writing this as the other comments were posted so that answers the question about the prop.

    @rwgast_logicdesign, let me know what you are interested in and I am pretty sure we can work something out.

    Here's a link to the archive data sheet site: http://www.datasheetarchive.com/

    @Circuitsoft, Pick what you want and PM me your address so I can send them to you. As long as there are more than 1 of each type you want. I appreciate the help.

    I also have an EEPROM eraser. Since I will most likely never have the time to work with it I may place it in the classifieds, unless the majority of these IC's can be erased with it which I do not know. I will be keeping the timers and items that I can use either in my robotic project or a few other ideas I have. Once I figure that all out I will have post them in the classifieds for trading.

    Here is the list sorted by category. There are some useful chips there.

    BTW, only the 2716 eproms can be erased, and the cpu chip sounds like basic is preprogrammed in the chip.

    I think the Z8671 contains a version of TinyBasic in ROM.

    If this is what I think it is I put one together once using wire wrap.
    I still have it somewhere. It worked with a terminal.

    Great. Thanks for this. PM me your address and a list of what you would like and how many and as long as I have more than 1 I will send out to you. I know the 555's will come in handy. Which other ones do you consider "useful"?

    Line item 56, RC4151 is a voltage-to-frequency converter I believe.

    Thanks for the offer but I have most of those chips already, and most of the others I have no use for. What I meant by "some useful chips there" was that they would be useful for someone learning electronics, logic gates, and analog circuits. The 8 bit ADC and DAC chips would work well with a prop or other micro.

    The Z8 is quite different to the Z80 instruction set.

    Would you still have one of those Z8671 chips?
