Only problem is these are costing a small fortune to buy
I have had to increase the cost to £28 per IC in my store as this is almost the price its costing to obtain them now I'm re-thinking of copying the blitter (gate level diagram) over to a altera PLD as talked about before... https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/forum/viewt ... ?f=29&t=79
While the PLD is expensive, a PLCC adapter could be done to fit in the STF/M machines.. as I think that is the main use of people buying them..
Though there is the VHDL cores from suska which I know nothing about.. Likely still expensive route (I have no idea bout VHDL and really don't have time/interest to learn it all) though "code" version of the blitter may not be 100% compatible. But a gate level version would be. It would be a lot of work to copy the diagram and test.. but not 100% it will fit in the PLD.. assume so, but need to create the schematic to see what LA count it really ends up being..
For now I will try and keep a few blitters in stock. Though I don't really want to invest around £3,000 in buying 100 of them!

EDIT:
So I only managed to obtain 9 of them. Supplier says no more stock of them 
So I guess this marks the end of the supply of blitters. I guess best-elect still sells them...
