   @paulrickards I bought a small roll of esd foam, and lined all the compartments of similar boxes with it. Not perfect, but sufficient, I think. If you want higher grade check someplace like digikey for esd boxes.

     @mhkohne @paulrickards beware of foam, it can absorb moisture and you'll end up with chips destroyed not by ESD but rust.

     #RetroComputing folks: Have a recommendation for a storage system for plastic DIP ICs and other small parts? Preferably something that locks closed and stacks. I have these which I really like but I don't think they're ESD safe.
