[Scott Currie]

Just curious, when was the last time anyone was able to get a Pi-Zero 2W?

I got a few from a local store about a month ago but I hear that the cost of ram is too high for them to make them affordable

Hi guys - probably no Zero2W stock until next year, yes because of ram, but
specifically because of the memory/cpu stacked package is hard to tool
for in fabs.   ALL fabs are tooled up for memory production right now because
of the AI boom.

Pi's with 2GB or less haven't seen the memory uplift.  Keep in mind DigiPi
is designed to fit in 512MB.   FLDigi is the only thing testing that limit.  New
stuff like Mercury fits perfectly.

Having said that, you're going to see me recommend the Pi 3A+ and DSI(800x480)
display combo for DigiPi 2.2.   Very affordable, same memory, full size ports, thousands
available, 5G wifi and the DSI display port -- all for US$60.
