I've put 4 in my basket for now (but might need to bump it up by one or two more...depending on if I need them for the IDE i/f on the H4 - I need to re-read the relevant thread & see what works re PLCC or DIL CPU in the mainboard compared to DIL CPU in the IDE board & ROM decode options etc.)

I can let you know if it goes any higher than that by this weekend if that is OK time-wise?

More would have to be packaged up in the next few hours, because the stock is here not at dawns, so I plan to get UPS to pick up that package to send to her tomorrow...

she is likely posting out on Friday as well... Then the store will have to go off-line again for a bit I think.

@exxos Ok - will go for an extra couple of sockets (total 6 for me) just to cover all bases.

I'm bound to use them for another board at some point (assuming they aren't used for the second H4 anyway).

Payday is sometime next week so will put the cats/dog/kids on rations until then :twisted:

May add a few other bits, 68K sockets included, to my order for a 4MB MMU adapter. I'll get that bloody Mega4 running permanently if it's the last thing I do!!

Did somebody say run out? I'd best panic buy then

Yep. If you could also planning by the other 170+ items that would be great :lol:

I will tube up some more sockets later just in case.

Due to Covid-19 geeks all over the world are stocking up on sockets, headers and oscillators.

exxos should institute a "one per family" policy!

I think that is pretty much all people can afford in one go anyway :lol:

How can I hoard sockets when the checkout is still disabled :cry:
