Rybags Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 What chip is inside? Looks to be 24 pin - I can't think of any custom or important Atari DIP chips that are as such, aside from some Roms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could always email Brad @best and ask if he has any recollection of how these were distributed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I doubt they were ever sold. I've seen similar things from other companies. Generally they're gifts that are presented to client management, occasionally technical people doing courses and the like. My guess for Atari's case would be they were for distributors. Often they have a chip that is made by or of some significance to the company, encased in epoxy. Cheap gifts usually, I would think the chips would be failed ones pulled from the line.

lbaeza Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 Hi According to the atarimuseum.com, there's an Antic chip inside the prism: http://www.atarimuseum.com/ahs_archives//archives/Memorabilia/page3.html I was thinking if it is possible to make a replica out of transparent plastic, but I think the result would not be crystal clear... Kind regards, Louis BQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 My guess is it's a 6507 or a ROM. There aren't any good pics of it. I don't think it really mattered what was in it. It was just supposed to look cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
