I have called DIGEKEY and they can not sell me an AT29C256
eeprom unless i buy bulk (496) of em.
Can some one tell me where to go please.
I have searched the board on atmel & part #'s.
Any help appreciated.

Also the ZIF socket is on back order till may 8..

 

You'd get more "attention" if you made a post regarding "AT29C256 Group Purchase". I know a few guys are again looking for these. While a few had some spares (a few weeks ago).

So "repost" with a title like "AT29C256 Group Purchase" and I will just delete this post.

 

No no,
I think you misunderstood me...
I do not want a group purchase ,i need to know where to buy them in singles.
I was stating that they would not sell me singles-i had to buy bulk
was looking for info on where to buy in singles

 

Actually i may have misunderstood your reply a little.
thanks for the help.

 

I hope so. Just put a post on "Any AT29C256s for sale?" and see if anyone from the last group purchase has any. If not, then you can "set up" a group for another purchase.

I bought mine from Insight Electronics and it looks like they have done a major merger. The good news, it looks like they have "offices" all over the place. Whether or not they still sell "a dozen Flash Proms to little guys" is another story.

I suggest doing a search on "Atmel AT29C256" at www.google.com and see what "pops up", and then let everyone know what's the best place to get these are. It's funny, but "who was the best" a few months ago changes really fast when it comes to electronics - sad to say.

 

Try Pioneer Standard Electronics.

You need a "PC" or "PI" type of at lease 150 ns.

The AT29C256 - 12PC works just fine, and it's what I use.

Have fun.

 

Thanks again Glenn,
I believe i have (2) at29c256-12pc's on the way
the PI's were the ones not in stock. these were $4.90 ea.
