Was handed a bag with about fifty 48 pin ceramic DIP Motorola chips. Date codes from 84 to 87. I think they may be house numbered 68008s but am not sure.

The only part number that is consistent on all the chips are 50238 (with either a -01 or -05 suffix).

Anyone have any thoughts on where to trace these down?

Was also handed a fairly large bag of Z80 bits. Including Z80A, Z80B and a handful of Z80SIO

Thanks,
Kelly
 
48 pin packages aren't insanely common, so 68008 might be a good guess. I'd sacrifice one and try whacking power and clock to it via breadboard, thus confirming whether it is in fact a 68008 or not. If not, you might fry the chip, but if you have half a hundred identical, I'd find that acceptable.
