So they may have 10,000 in stock with the option to purchase more (in lots of 100) from the mfr, or they may have 10 in stock and that's the end. But I think that the chip was used widely enough, that there are *a lot* of them floating around out there. IMHO, running out of RIOT chips is sorta like running out of Combat carts or 2600 consoles...it *will* happen, but it may take a *long* time. :) BTW, if anyone is looking for a TIA source, try Best Electronics. They have NTSC for $5.xx and PAL for $7.xx last time I checked. -Chris -- Archives (includes files) at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ Unsub & more at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/
