I also felt the 9000 type number might be code date, the full number on the chip is; the first line is PMI 9024, under that is the number 1826-1882. This chip is a standard 14 pin DIP, nothing unusual about it other than the number. Next to this chip is a 8 pin DIP with the marking PMI 9025, and no other numbers. In the photos attached, you will notice that all (most) of the other IC's, even the standard SN74LS--- series has a 90-- number associated with it, as well as the 18-- numbers below. Makes me believe that the 90-- and 18-- numbers are something done specifically for HP or a part number and a code date of some sort. Would bet the PMI part is a standard IC of some sort, with the generic part number missing...............sure makes it difficult to identify without a schematic. Does anyone have any ideas? Or am I at a dead end.
They are telling me file is too large, so can only post the one of the suspected bad PMI chip. The 74LS... chips with additional numbers are TI, and some Motorola.
