I was wondering if there's anyone else out

building a Magic-1 and/or D16 homebrewed CPU computers. If so, I'd like
to organize a group buy for some of the harder to source parts.
Specifically, the 74F382 and probably 74F381. My favorite chip broker has
a $50 minimum order.
Have you verified they are in stock? E.g., Digikey lists
both
parts -- though no stock-on-hand -- and has a $25 minimum
(and *no* minimum if you are willing to throw an extra $5
service charge).
I think they lit one part at $0.70 and $2.30 (I assume you need
four, 4 bit slices?)
The no-stock-on-hand part got me confuzzled. What exactly does that mean?
Wait a bit for it to get in stock or "who knows when they'll have it?"?
<grin> Well, that's subject to interpretation! :>
On some parts, it means, "We're all out, awaiting a new
shipment". On other parts it means, "Yeah, somebody told
us about this part number but we've never actually bought any..."
The Magic-1 requires three 74F381s and two 74F382s.
Grr! I just sent off an order to Digikey yesterday!
