According to my NEC data book, the V30 is sold in several packages
including a 40 pin DIP (rectangular), a 44 pin PLCC (square), and
and 52 pin plastic miniflat (square).  The one you want is the
DIP version, of course.  NEC's part numbers are of the form
uPD70116x-y, where u is greek mu charcter, x is C for plastic or 
D for ceramic, and y is 5, 8, or 10 (MHz).  The 6300 runs at
8 MHz.
