[jam yesterday and jam tomorrow but no jam today!]
Why don't I see the Z-80 H (8 MHz) in the back-of-Byte magazine companies
(Jameco, JDR, DoKay...) but only in a few products? Is it scarce?
Are there any peripherals for it?
I don't have the $$$$$$ to deal with distributors (unless I am mistaken
and they have prices comparable to Jameco, et. al.).

Skot Can't comment on the Z80 availablity :-) but do know that most distributors can be quite reasonable. The only snag is that there is a minimum order, sometimes its $25 others it is $75, I got the "good" general instrument speech synthesizer this way and was informed at the time that they were $12.50 each. If I bought one I would still have to pay the $25 minimum but 2 were still only $25, so I got two and sold one to a friend. Your best bet is to get together with some other people and buy a bunch so that you easily make the minimum. --Chuck -- "Unix, the Teco of Operating Systems." - - - D I S C L A I M E R - - - {ihnp4,fortune}!dual\ All opinions expressed herein are my {qantel,idi}-> !intelca!cem own and not those of my employer, my {ucbvax,hao}!hplabs/ friends, or my avocado plant. :-}
