I am having pretty good luck out of the Chinese Reproduction chips so far. I do wish that they would put their own unique logo and real date code on them, though. Some chips that dried up completely for two decades are now available again. Wouldn't it be cool if we could get any or all of the silicon we loved to design with over the years, again? I believe there is a genuine market for them, and it may exceed the original production's market share. Let's face it. Wafer fabrication, process and production technology has improved over the last four decades. With production care, the reproductions could even be better (more reliable) than the legacy parts we once knew. And it's really not rocket science.

Anyhow, I purchased two 1287s from eBay (china). I was a bit worried about a fake as it's an obsolete chip but they both worked fine.
