My only order ever to Unicorn was for some TTL parts back on 22nd of June.
I tweaked them a month later and got a reply that parts were back ordered,
would ship in a week or so. Last I heard from them.
What is your experience with Unicorn? Did they actually ship parts to you?
Their prices are good, but I would pay a little more to get parts I need.
Or at least an "out of stock" notice after 7 weeks of waiting.

I have have had fair luck with them. The only snag I have had so far
is I got substituted chips; MB7124's instead of 74S472's.

I have yet to place my big order for all the chips & sockets I need. Right
now I designing with in stock parts so hopefully I will not have back ordered
parts. Other than Card-Edge connectors , 512x8 Prom & 16Kx4 static ram,
I can second source most of the parts from B.G. Micro.Jameco has the other
parts but I would use 32K x 8 ram when I build my memory card.

I've had nothing but good luck with them. My first few orders were for a
few hundred dollars. I've since bought thousands of parts.
I don't buy anything but ICs from them. I get capacitors and mill max
sockets directly from digikey.
The only thing unicorn couldn't get me are some Mallory pots from the 88-ACR.
I suggest you bug them a little more. They're good guys...something must
be up...

Well I plan to buy a DOS lap top and use it a dumb terminal.
If I do plan to buy a EPROM PROGRAMMER; it would need DOS software
and Parallel port interface?
My current option is to re-design my cpu design to use 2816's (250ns)
rather than 74S742's and have it run a little slower than I like.

PS. the lowest cost burner I have seen was about $79.95 but you need to supply your
own 10 volt wall wart.

I've placed three orders with them; they all arrived when
expected. The most recent was last winter.
