I just read the files on the Lucas accelerator project, and It sounds really terrific. Anybody out there want to suggest a good source for the Motorola chips? In the back pages of BYTE, I see Advanced computer Products selling 16 Mhz 68020/68881 for $250 and $220 respecively. Thats $470! Surely there is a cheaper source for these chips. Is it possible to get a discount on a small order, Say 5 of each? If so, Anybody want to go in together?

I was also looking around for parts for the Lucas board today while at work..
I found that ARROW (a mail order company - A large one at that) sells the
68020 for $220 and the 68881 for $172.. That's still better than ACP
(Advanced Computer Products).. Gee, I wonder if you could call up Motorola
and tell them you are working on a school project and ask if they would give
you a 16Mhz 68020 for educational purposes??

That's still better than ACP >(Advanced Computer Products). Several months ago, Hamilton Avnet offered a package consisting of a 68020, 68881, MMU, 32K of fast static RAM, and a couple of other glue type chips, all for ~$325 single quantity, cheaper for 5 or 10 quantity. Does anyone know if this offer has expired? David Carter davidc@pyr.gatech.edu

Wow, that would have been a bargain, but it was really this: Motorola MC68020 Developers Kit - $399 Includes: 1 16 Mhz 68020 and manual 1 16 Mhz 68881 and manual 1 16 Mhz 68851 and manual (all mine were XC parts) 1 4K of 35ns static RAM 2 8 Bit A/D converters 1 Thick looseleaf notebook full of app notes for all the above and more. It was quite a bargain anyway - I picked up about three of them a year-1/2 or so back. You'll have to call your local Hamilton Avnet to find out if they're still available. >David Carter davidc@pyr.gatech.edu Eric Lavitsky ARPA: eric@topaz.rutgers.edu or eric@ulysses.att.com UUCP: {att,ucbvax}!ulysses!eric or {wherever!}rutgers!topaz!eric SNAIL: 34 Maplehurst Ln, Piscataway, NJ 08854 "To err is human; To really f*ck up requires the root password."

I just got off the phone with the guy from the local one ( in Mississauga Ontario ). He's sending me the info on it, but it is still $399. For people in the immediate area, anyone interested? Anyone interested in a 68851, some static ram and A/D converters??? :-) Blair -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= = Blair MacIntyre (bmacintyre@watsol.waterloo.edu) The Guy in Green ... = = "Don't be mean ... remember, no matter where you go, there you are."
