While sorting out some "stuff" I came across this bag of chips...

It was still stapled shut,  so it was apparently meant for something.  I
don't know if this was a part of an assortment sold as such,  just an
assortment of parts,  or if it was meant for some particular circuit.  I
suspect the former as it resembles a number of bags of quarter watt
resistors I encountered a while back during another session...

Anyhow much of what's in there is pretty generic stuff.  Two things stand out though.

One is a chip resembling an op amp,  but apparently preconfigured as a
unity-gain buffer.  I found it easily enough in my databooks, though I
don't know why you'd get these and not just use a standard op amp and
configure it as a unity gain part.  Maybe some difference in the spec
that's not apparent to me,  or something...    (Anybody know?)   I suppose
I'll think of something to do with these sooner or later.

The other part that jumped out at me as being a little unique was a 565 PLL
chip.  I have heard of this one before,  but have *no* idea what you'd do
with it.  Any of you guys have any thoughts on the matter?
