I have thousands of NOS chips here that i hope to finish going through. I
have no idea how many bus transceivers are in there. These were intended
for projects I don't know if I'll ever get around to.
There are a lot of NOS out there at a variety of prices. The common 74xx
are mostly there and fairly cheap. I have several thousand ECLs I have
little use for, and they are getting harder to find.
As far as the DEC chips go, I figured if I ever ran out I would pull them
off of boards that I have a lots of extras.
It's been years since I've looked at the prints, but I should be able to
find some DEC transceivers on boards like DZ11, MS11, MSV11, M3106, M3107,
various omnibus boards etc.
I know is sounds terrible, but I can cut the fingers off, sell the board
for the chips, and make some room which i desperately need.

that one posting sounded a lot like that, sorry.
OK.
Do you have a source where there are still 30k
chips sitting and
waiting?
It was ~30K a couple of months ago. I checked about a week ago, and it was
down to ~26K (IIRC).
Although, like I said, I doubt they have all 26K in stock themselves;
based on
comments they made when we bought a large group, I think that's the total
number available to them across a number of suppliers, in a network which
shares inventory information.
