Some investor could buy the rights to 200,000 MSP430F5513 for delivery in November at $3.10 a pop. Whoever delivers them either must do so or pay a contract penalty. The investor runs the risk that they aren't scarce and he might lose 50c to a buck per chip. If they turn out to be scarce he'll make a serious profit. Of course not from me cuz I'd rather stick with the 80C51 :-) -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ "gmail" domain blocked because of excessive spam. Use another domain or send PM.

But there was never any shortage as far as I can remember. The first one I used in the early 90's, and the whole thang is still in production. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ "gmail" domain blocked because of excessive spam.
