Hey everyone,
Are any of you interested in a group purchase of MCM68766 EPROM chips?
These are used in M8189s and possibly in some other DEC equipment. I'm
looking to upgrade my M8189 to a -BJ with these chips.
Unfortunately the places that sell them are asking for a $150-200 minimum
order.
If you're interested, let me know.

It's also a footprint equivalent of the ROM chips in the IBM-PC
motherboards, for anybody who wants to tweak or adjust the BIOS
(or BASIC interpreter) in theirs.
If you're interested, let me know.

They are $8 each at http://www.unicornelectronics.com with a $20 minimum order.

Rumor has it that Wolfe, Julian may have mentioned these words:

I have a metric buttload of these suckers at home... those and the
MCM68764's ( I have more '64s, but out of almost 10Kg of 'em, I'm sure I
could find more than enough '66s ;-)
There's one caveat: There in Panasonic HHC carriers, with a decoupling cap
on the power pins already. So, to use them in a standard DIP socket, you'd
need to unwrap the pins from the carrier & desolder the cap. It needs to be
done carefully, but certainly doable - I used a few on a CoCo1 - I
'unwrapped' 8 chips one time, and 7 survived no problem.

That's way too much... I'm cheap (at least that's what my wife says.)
;-) If you want *me* to extract & erase the suckers, I won't be quite so
cheap, but certainly not near that pricetag.
How many do you actually need?
Laterz,

Well, I only need two for my M8189.
