IBM 72X8287

Unknown onboard IBM chip.

 

Inmos IMSG171P-35 is 35MHz Ramdac designed to be compactible with IBM PS/2 VGA graphics systems. Datasheet is here. So i guess it can be part of IBM PS/2 motherboard with 1st vga chipset or XGA 1. Questions are: is it silver chip really graphics core or it ended with rest of motherboard in recycled stuff? (got it as you see it), chipset name, source computer name, memory size/type, year.

Vlask's chip:

Apparently, IBM's 8-bit VGA for older machines used the 72X8287, so my guess is that this is the original (manufactured by IBM Microelectronics), and the 15F6864 is essentially the same thing, but manufactured on a cheaper process (note the all-plastic package and Epson "mountain" logo).

These are all basic VGAs that support 256k of RAM, 25.175 and 28.322 clocks, and 640x480 max.
