I don't weep and moan about something from the
past vanishes because of
lack of interest,
Is the list not all about interest in obsolete computer technology,
and getting these weird old machines going again?
any more than I weep about the unavailability of RTL
flatpacks or variocouplers or UV201s.
Variocouplers and UV-201s? Bring them on. The market for those items
still exists, and is quite decent. The old timers still know how the
surplus market works.
How much of a run do you imagine
that 5V TTL logic will have? It's pretty much incompatible with tiny
cell geometries.
Um...again...this list? 7400 logic is still in demand, to a smallish
extent, with hobbyists. Like people trying to get PDP-11s and stuff
going again.
But it really does not matter. I could have a pallet of currentish
RPis, and, well, I would end up dying with a pallet of RPis.
