enough stock to build at least 100 unibus boards (total) of various types that I
have planned.
And to forestall any questions on the topic, no I will not be selling any of the
chips individually. They are there to allow me to build/sell the various Unibus
boards.
Very enlightening.
You're hoarding interface ICs with commercial second thoughts while
deeming any usable alternative as not working crap. Sounds quite coherent!
BTW Why isn't there a separate list "ccbusinterfacechip" where those
recurring 8881 discussions can be separated from the more interesting stuff?
I just can't imagine that it should be a real problem to build working
Unibus equipment without the old chips.
The Unibus design is from 1 9 7 0 (or around that). Just read that
sentence loud.
Kind regards
