Regarding the Curtis 3310 and 3340 chips, OnChip is completely out of them, and PAiA has a limited supply, so if you think you need some, either for a new construction project, or as spares for your existing gear, better get 'em now. On the other hand, if we all pool our resources, OnChip will make another run for a minimum order of 10,000 pieces(!), which seems excessive since they already own the masks. I can't imagine it costs that much to do a another run of an existing chip, but, not being in the chip making bus, I may be all wet... RM
