No more Atmel 29c256 available
 

I called Digikey today looking for some more chips for this season. We all know the 29C256 has been discontinued. Digikey says the manufacturer has ceased production and they cannot get them anymore. This means the only thing left is what's already in distribution. I would have preferred to order from a Canadian company...

yeah, that's old news. a lot of people now are using the sst27sf512, 27c512, 27c256, and so on. there's plenty of replacements, but yeah, i loved the 29c's too :-\

Re:No more Atmel 29c256 available
 

mmm i have about 5 extras.... but they are not for sale :P

Re:No more Atmel 29c256 available
 

i still get them, just not from digikey, and they're a couple pennies more :-\

Re:No more Atmel 29c256 available
 

I found a local place that will sell them for about $3.20 each...120ns however minimum order would be 100qty!

There is a link for the slower 250ns Amtels and tehy still have some although they are a little slow they seem to work for people.

As Kevin said the SST 27sf chips are a nice replacement...some burners dont support them though.

If you just need one or two of either I have them in stock and could sell them to you for what I think is a fair price.

Re:No more Atmel 29c256 available
 

yeah, all of the more common burners that i know of do support them, along with just about any other 28 pin dip style chips that could be used.

Re:No more Atmel 29c256 available
