Oh how typically annoying..

The flash chip I wanted to use MX29F800CBXEI-70G is out of stock everywhere.

:sigh:

Now trying to order the chips from JLC global sourcing direct from Mouser instead. So its £25 a pop for the flash now.. Stupid really as the whole point of the project was to make a cheap Falcon flash solution, and the cost of actually getting them but will end up at like £100 a pop! :roll:

Not exactly cheap in Mouser either.

Can't find anything cheaper unless going to TSOP parts which are way bigger and be a huge headache to try and route.. just not worth the effort. With the ROM area being limited by the RAM card, its probably not even going to fit under the card. But a original card without a simm socket could still be useable. Will just have to see if I can actually ever get some boards made !
