[] I recently finished building a self-designed disk controller board for a prototype disk system. It is designed to use the Intel 8272 FDC or NEC uPD 765 chip. I ordered one from a place in Toronto, but 2 months later they tell me they are VERY hard to find because they are used in the IBM PC. So I have this board all ready to go with a big empty socket for the 8272!!! My request: Does anyone know of anywhere that has the part IN STOCK (eg. just bought one themselves) anywhere in North America (!!)? Canada would be nice, but I would welcome US responses too, and would be VERY HAPPY to get responses by mail to bcdoody@wateng. Brian Doody Dept Elec.
