This is not too bad, as Western Digital has ceased chip production (including the WD33C93A-PL 00-08) as of January 1, 1996, and finding it we didn't find too easy.  Those interested should email and pre-order it.  Thank you.


I am interested in getting a couple of these, so I looked for them on the net to determine if $25-$33 is a good price and found thousands of them are still available, either new or refurbished/removed from old machines.

Most of the sites that list them require registration and a request for a quote before they will give you a price, so I did not get any pricing for them, but at least it is clear that there are many available and that they are not so "RARE" as some would have us believe.

What is the price for this pre-order per chip?  Can't you fix a price instead of a price range between $25 to $33?

I don't mind paying a mark-up so nishtek can make a profit, but I really believe that they can probably be found in quantity (over 20) for between $8 to $16.
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)
