I've been working on a "black box" that hangs out the back end of my c64 expan- sion port for quite some time. The problem is, the local Commodore shop never seems to have a supply of CIA (6526) chips in stock, and it often takes several months for them to get a shipment. I *need* these chips to interface my pro- ject. Does anyone know of a mail order firm which could supply this? Thanks for the help. A. Ray Miller Univ Illinois

Thanks > for the help. > Ditto. My '64 has a CIA with a slight glitch, which I get around by swapping the CIAs around (either the joystick doesn't work, or the modem won't work on long distance, depending upon where I put the bad chip). I would also appreciate addresses of places to buy them, either mail-order or Seattle local (Tech-Star won't sell the chips; they want to "install" them, too...) Ron Wanttaja (ssc-vax!wanttaja)
