Unknown IC

That looks like a "House Number", in which case ECG/TCG may have a replacement for it. Otherwise you have to hope the manufacturer supports whatever this is out of and can supply you with a replacement.

Of course you could always send it to a company that specializes in reverse engineering and they can take the top off and figure out what it is...however that is usually insanely expensive if the item is a toaster or microwave oven.

No, as the other buy pointed out, it's a house number. Even if it's a renumbered generic part, chances are good it's a microcontroller (GI made what might be the predecssors of the PIC controllers), and once you've got that, chances are good it has the actual software inside in ROM. So if there's a generic version, it won't do you any good since you don't have the software.

The more pins an IC has, the more likely it's specialized.

The information you left out was where this IC was. If it was just lying by itself, there's no way it's worth any effort. If it's inside something and it actually needs replacing, then nobody will be able to help without information on what it was in, what the device did.

Thanks, I was hoping that someone have some datasheet or know something about that ic. Thought if there any use for my vintage computer project :)
