RetrogradeSecond attempt to source some #MC6847 ICs for my #homebrewcomputer.
Previous ones didn't behave as expected in the test rig, maybe these will...
FFS. None of these are good, and this one has obviously been sanded down and re-labelled... 😡 Tired of this hit and miss game (mostly misses these day, it seems.)
Linker3000@Retrograde We could do with a central registry of good / no-good suppliers, but I fear some of them are likely to receive the odd legit and non-legit batches even if they try to provide decent stock of pulls and NOS for discontinued parts.
@linker3000 Aye. For this batch, I tried to up my odds by avoiding any CN sellers and going with a UK seller with 99.9% positive rating and still this keeps happening... 😬 I'd pay some extra for sure for verified components, to avoid this hassle. If only there were a source that actually did that.
@Retrograde That's really annoying.
