man-
I'm looking for some 74s163n chips for a System I board, but the only ones I find are $3-$4 EACH!!
Didn't this crap used to be less than a buck? Hell- I always thought they were PENNIES per chip. I guess it's just that as time marches on, the technology becomes obsolete and nobody manufactures it anymore.
But I mean -damn. You can buy Z80's and modern microcontrollers for less than that...
any links to cheaper chips would be appreciated.
