Well I thought they would have even fewer in stock because I had ordered
some.  However, I just rec'd this email from them:

 

"Steve, We have received an order ahead of yours for item # ATMEGA328P-AU,
we are sold out.

We are unable to keep them on order as we are not franchised with the
factory.  Thank you"

 

From 1076 to 0 in 24 hours.   Looks like things are drying up pretty fast.


 

Back to the drawing board.

Thanks for the lead on online components. They have even fewer in stock
now. I always forget to look separately at online. They don't seem to
ever show up in FindChips, etc. Steve

Farnell indicates that they have 113 TQFP parts in their Asian warehouse but
I don't see a way to order them. I sent Farnell an email asking about this.
The price, quoted in pounds, is about what I'd expect to pay in dollars so
they're very expensive.

Online Components (http://www.onlinecomponents.com) indicates that they have
1,076 on hand. I ordered some from them so they will actually have fewer
than that now. The price is a bit higher than Digi-Key et al but that is
better than no parts at all.
