Shown is the bottom of the chip with the unprogrammed device number



The chip is presumed to be a popular mil-spec gate array in a gull wing



84 epoxy package.

The top of the chip is identified as



OTZy9-1420129 Revision- Mfg Date- 9946 U7-1



Presumably these can be reprogrammed for a tiny fraction of original cost new.



Believed to be full mil spec aerospace.



Need to know the original chip manufacturer and data sheet. None of the obvious part number choices line up.

Hope they're not OTP (eg. antifuse) type, which are popular in such applications for rad-hardness etc. Plastic PLCC-84 package, though.

Adobe Photoshop's "Perspective" crop function will allow you to get rid of that irritating angular misalignment and distortion in a snap.

Drag the corner handles to line each of the four sides up with the package edges, which defines the perspective correction, then pull the center handles of each side out to define the area to be cropped.

And where do I get a free copy of Adobe Photoshop?

I have no affiliation with adobe (unfortunately :D ).

The gimp does this too AFAIK.

Yup, and although I find the GUI a little klunky and it's very hard to remember what sub-menu the particular function I need is in, it does a lot of stuff quite well. I've never been able to get photoshop to do what I wanted, but then I don't use Windows much anymore.

Sure does. Moreover, so does IrfanView with a much friendlier user interface.
