looking for a replica 1

[ldic...@mindspring.com]

Hi Everyone -

I really want to attend the Build Your Own Retro Computer class and would really like to build a Replica 1 but they are sold out a Briel Computer's site. I did a search on Google and did not find any other vendors. Does any one know where I could get a kit or have one available.

Also, do you think I would be able to source the individual parts if necessary?

Thanks.

Louis

I suspect the hard-to-find part right now is the DIP-form factor
Propeller chip that's used for keyboard control and video generation
on the Replica-1. Vince told me his supply was tight on those, as
demand had been higher than Parallax had originally expected.

I might have one, if you need it.

Hi Raphael -

Thanks for getting back to me. Let me know if you do have a kit available and how much you want for it.

Thanks.

Oh, I just read more carefully. All I have is the propeller chip. The
rest of the kit you would have to put together. But we can probably do
that at resistor. So I think it's all a go!
