74x00's are still common - I still can get that at
Radio-shack for $2.00
in a bubble
package here in Canada. It is rare chips ALU's, carry look aheads, 16x4
memory
that you can't find. The $.10 surplus TTL days are long gone. Ben
Franchuk.
Good thing too as most of the surplus parts were off spec... I was burned
a few times back when.
At least three vendors have most of the TTL line, JDR being one.
I might add that in '73 I did a TTL design, finding many of the chips
that
were in the books was a task as many were unobtainium.
