paul,
$149 for the module seems reasonable.....must be a perception thing - $42 for 
the ic hit me like "sticker shock" !  given what they were running ages ago, 
i would have guessed maybe $20 tops. boy, am i way out of date! 
i`m almost surprised that a group of enterprising synth makers don`t go in 
together and split the cost and quantities of a chip run - whats that, maybe 
5000 ic`s? between everyone in the business, that might not be too pricey and 
would allow everyone enough chips to start with before deciding whether a 
second run would be worthwhile.......... or am i an optimistic fool?
best,
dave
