I just thought that I'd let folks know that I scored a bit (ok quite a bit) of
unobtainium
in the form of Unibus receivers and transceivers. It wasn't cheap but I just
received
100 DS8640Ns (Unibus receivers) and 500 DS8641Ns (Unibus transceivers)! I would
have gotten some Unibus drivers too if they were available.
I think I'm now set (including the stock that I had previously) for the projects that
I
need them for (now I just need the time to actually work on those projects).
Before anyone asks, these were obtained through a supplier on the secondary chip
market. They only deal with commercial entities (one of the reasons I have one)
and aren't interested in "small" quantities. It's hard to get them
interested in an order
under $1000 (and my total order for the above parts was well over that).
