   Heh. Looking for details on old Iomega ASICs and happened upon this old @foone post:
   https://x.com/Foone/status/1460846306981601281/photo/1

   It's a Zip drive main board!

   Rucify is the ATAPI controller used on more recent Zip drives. I can't tell what the board is from though, possibly an external drive PCB which could be built as an internal?

     @CenturyAvocado @philpem I think that's because I set my account to private.

     @gorplop @foone You wouldn't know unless you knew - the Iomega branding has been airbrushed off the chip. Anyway if you want to see inside - if the rain lets up I'll be decapping a RUCIFY ASIC tonight. Hopefully I can get some nice pictures for SiliconPr0n.
     I'll probably do the same with the head amp and channel drive chips, I have a complete dead drive and the best pics available are low-res full die shots.
