I just bought two M68851 from MacProducts USA for use in Mac IIs.
Examining the two chips I noticed that they were both blackened on
that part of the number which indicates the clock frequency.

Examining these blacked-out spots better reveiled that the chips I
bought were actually 12 Mhz parts instead of 16 Mhz parts.

I am about to return them. Is this usual practice? did this happen to
you? did you return them? are they jerks?
