I called Megatronics this afternoon.  Their 'small quantity' price is actually
$32 per chip.  The $28 price is for quantities > 100 pieces.  These prices do
not include shipping, and there is an extra charge for payment via credit card.

Group purchase effort for the Atlanta area:

If I can get enough people to buy 104 chips (13 sets of 8), I will place the
order.  I am looking for people in the Atlanta area for two reasons: 1) so that
I can get a deposit (we're talking about a purchase of nearly $3000; I can't
afford to have people change their minds), and 2) so that I won't have to
repackage and reship smaller packets of chips; I would prefer for people to
come pick them up ("from either of two convenient locations").

The chips are 80ns Static Column 1Meg x 4bits.  'Because the chips are factory
fresh (not used) and have been very reliable,' Megatronics gives a 10 year
warranty.  They are in stock, and would ship from there to me via 2nd day air.

To use them in an Amiga 3000, you must install them in sets of 8 chips.

If you and/or someone else you know are interested, please reply via email.
