Simple capitalist economics: supply and demand.

Why should some chip manufacture
make SIDs in lots of 1k or 10k
when they can make ASICs for Routers,
NICs, Hubs, Switches, Telco gear etc.
in lots of 100k and higher?

I could be wrong.

Ethan

No, I don't think so, but couldn't they be made again. I wonder why no
company hasn't specialised in making clones of old out of production chips,
can anybody explain?

I think you could be wrong simply cause there is demand for spare parts etc
and cause it is a know and simple technology to manufacture old parts. It
requires no research, no nothing and rather than throwing a nice vintage
like an SH101, Jupiter 8, Matrix and so on people is likely to pay rather
high prices. I myself could consider paying 50 or so bucks for a spare cpu
for my sh101...

The demand is there, the supply should follow, right?

So I think you are wrong on the 1k - 10k part. It is like spares for vintage
cars, expensiver than for new ones. Wonder when some small specialist will
pick up...
