Not even the 65C02 is offered at 25 cents..... > > Steve Buggie .... Here is some information on 65C816 pricing clipped from Western Design Center's site at http://www.wdesignc.com/distribution.html ... >> W65C816S 14MHz (quantity 1-99) 40 DIP, 44 PLCC- $6.18 44 QFP- $7.67 Please call WDC's distribution department (602-962-4545) to place orders. .... Contact WDC for price and delivery. We require a $100 minimum order. With proper identification, the minimum may be waived for students, teachers and professors. Shipping and handling plus sales tax (if applicable) will be added to all orders. << Almost certainly, the best way to order is as a student or teacher, not as a 'regular user'. (Some IC makers-- e.g. Intel-- give away IC's with manuals to teachers.) If you are a student or teacher or know someone who is, you can figure on something like $15-$20 for a new 65C816 from WDC.
