Nothing is ever posted on these sites, you have to call and tell them
how many you want to buy.
Even at $50-$100 a piece, it's better than letting a $1600 (or more)
synth lay useless, if the part ever failed.

>>that a few months ago I was only paying $7.00 for. It was cheaper at that point to redesign.
How are you going to resdesign and manufacture an IC unless you have a
semiconductor fab & mfg + experience doing it?

yes- many of the CEMs he has listed are alreayd sold out.
I got the last 3372 and a 3340, and still have some others from many years ago.
I don't have any 3374's though, but I heard these dont go bad on the
XP/M12 very often.

When I first moved to San Jose, I went to the company here that was
still selling these chips for $15, and bought a handfull.
