Hi Folks!
Anyone have one or more of the old TI CPUs? The usual suspects don't
stock it (Unicorn, Abra, Jameco...). I have a customers game board in
where the CPU was backwards and previously destroyed...
In case anyone is curious the game was from Japan - Universal's COSMIC
GUERILLA.
This is NOT the TMS9918A - video chip - that some folks are trying to
emulate with Raspberry Pi(e)s.
Thanks!

Ebay seller tvsat_electronic in Poland currently lists some TMS9981JDL.
Don't know about the A variant, but they do stock a lot of even more
obscure TI uPs. . Folks I know have had good results purchasing from
them. Also ISTR rkn704 in the UK might have had some reasonable as well,
maybe still does.

Thanks for the information - I may indeed be wrong looking for the "A"
variant - the Osborne book does NOT specify that suffix for the 9981,
just the 9980 has the 'A'.
I can't find the eBay seller tvsat_electronic on eBay.pl at this time -
perhaps he has none listed at this time? Other than China (likely fakes)
all the other TMS9981JDL on ebay.pl are rather expensive for this old
arcade game.
