Rummaging Through my bin of Ancient ICs
« on: February 07, 2022, 02:50:53 pm »
While going through my bin of old ICs I ran across a DIP-8 package that identifies as a 2527-V Dual 256 bit static serial in, serial out recirculating shift register manufactured in 1973.  Any thoughts on what something like this may be used for?

Probably intended for the (character) display memory of a VDU, or for desk calculator working memory

Funny you should mention that.  I also found a 64 character 5x7 USASCII character generator chip in the collection.

Computerless audio effects:  delay, reverb, chorus, echo, etc.   :bullshit:
