Intel C1702AL 2048-bit (256 x 8) Low Power EPROM in White Ceramic - Later Style - Customer Sample - S spec S2078 - Extremely Rare

This Item is an Extremely Rare Intel C1702AL 2048-bit (256 x 8) Low Power  EPROM in White Ceramic that has an Stepping Spec of S2078 and is a Customer Sample as per the Photos.

This Particular Version of the 1702 was developed to work with the 8008 & 8080 Processors.

The “CS” Markings on the Bottom Front of the Chip were Intel’s way of signifying that they were intended to be supplied to their Sales People to give to Prospective Customers as a Sample and as such only a few were marked in this way which makes them Extremely Rare.

The intel 1702A was released by Intel  during the 4th Quarter of 1972.
The 1702A is packaged in a 24-pin dual in-line package with a transparent lid. 
The transparent lid allows the user to expose the chip to ultraviolet light to erase the bit pattern. 
A new pattern can then be written into the device.

This Intel C1702AL Chip appears to have been manufactured during Week 10 of 1976 in Malaysia.

I am unable to test this Chip for functionality so it is being sold for collection purposes only and as such has no warranty or guarantee of being functional.

Note: This Chips has one leg that is slightly shorter than the others but this would not affect it's functionality if it is Functional.

I can assure any buyers that the prices for these vintage Chips will rise significantly over the coming years as they have done so over the past 30 years so it will be a good investment for them as the majority of the older chips have been scrapped for their gold content.
