Re: Wanted - Blitter chip
I don't think that he's selling to the UK at the moment.
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.

How much are blitters worth these days?

No clue, last ones in my store sold for £38, but they weren't pulls. I would have to scrap some STE's to get some others, not much can be reused, so I would probably have to sell them at more like £65 to just get some money back. Can't see people paying that somehow.

@exxos that's why I ask as I have 2 or 3 STes with external blitter and a couple of STFMs with them. Trying to work out if they are worth more as parts or not.

Re: Wanted - Blitter chip
I have the same dilemma, mostly its more profitable to strip stuff down for parts. But doesn't always work out that easy when you have 100's of boards and half the chips on the STFM's are soldered down :roll: Its why I started selling cases and PSU's as overall I am losing money on all the stuff :(PhilC wrote: 18 Mar 2021 18:11 @exxos that's why I ask as I have 2 or 3 STes with external blitter and a couple of STFMs with them.

@exxos I think I may do the same with these STe boards.
@Steve give me a pm if you can't locate any elsewhere.
