i just learned (well, late last night actually) that western digital
has shut down their 3 micron fab line, and with it ended *ALL*
production of the wd1010, wd2010, wd50c12, and assorted related chips.
they've made an 'end-of-life' run, so there will (presumably) be a
large stock of chips for a while...

were/are there any second sources for these chips?

should we start hoarding/scrounging?

are we just sol?
