Find the excavator chip is a side quest in Fallout 2.

Synopsis[]

The talk around town is that there are two mine owners interested in the same thing: getting an excavator chip from an abandoned piece of equipment. Each mine owner offers the same reward: 1000 dollars. The only tough decision? Deciding the future of Redding, as whoever gets the chip will inevitably advance their own agenda; The Morningstar: Dan McGrew and the New Reno families – essentially the Mordinos, or The Kokoweef: Marge LeBarge and the New California Republic.
