It's been awhile so I don't recall.  Is it standard to have both "pin 1"
identifiers on one chip?  It has the notch on the left side as well as a
dimple over pin #1. I hope this isn't one of those stupid questions.

But Steve,
There is no remark inside by Fairchild.  And if they realized it at the
die stage, there would be no need to redo the outside. My bet is they
are counterfeits.

Hi Wayne!

Got your pictures posted, they are here:

It could be that they really aren't counterfeit, but got somehow
mis-marked by Fairchild and then re-marked to fix it. But if it is
indeed counterfeit, you'd be surprised at what is of value to those that
have labor costs at next to nothing...
