First chipshots from the new microscope. No idea what this chip is, other than by Motorola and with a mask code of B61T ZC419213. Does anyone recognise the artwork next to the batwing in the first photo? I'm guessing it's a country, county/state or city. #ICRE #siliconart #electronics

Edit: thanks to everyone who pointed out that's Switzerland! The chip also has the text "Motorola EDO" and "EDO Geneva" on it, which should have been a hint XD
