I recently found a couple of XC2018 in a drawer. Although
these will probably never see any use again it got me
thinking that a chip photo of these chips will probably
look pretty nice.

Has anyone seen such a photo somewhere? My guess is that
it will probably look rather impressive as older chips
usually allows you to really appreciate the effort that
went into the design.

Through a couple of web searches I found the following page
which I have never seen before:

http://smithsonianchips.si.edu/ice/s4.htm

There are a couple of reports related to FPGAs on that
page and some for CPLD.

The following book was also quite interesting:
