W65C02S - Address bus alternates between a value and 0xFF

[BitWise]

My order went to Coltek. I have some spares of most the WDC chips in DIP and PLCC - not the microcontroller chips.

Ah, good to hear that Coltek are indeed selling to hobbyists - the site didn't look very promising to me.

Garth: perhaps you could update your sticky with a note that UK buyers can use Coltek and Mouser?

Cheers

I added the note at the bottom of the first post there (which is my own). The topic is not locked though, so you can also add responses or edit your own posts if you like. We do want to keep this always up to date. Are there URLs you would like me to add for Coltek (which I've never heard of) and Mouser?

Thanks! These two URLs should be good:

What's the exchange rate these days between GBP and USD? I'm trying to equate what we pay here in the states to what you guys pay.

I paid the prices in my post, namely:

W65C02 @ £3.40
W65C21 @ £3.25
W65C22 @ £3.50
W65C51 @ £3.95
W65C816 @ £4.25
W65C134 @ £6.50 (PLCC Only)

I think this included the UK VAT and as I ordered nearly £300 pounds worth of chips they let me off the shipping as well. You get 1.53 USD to the GBP this morning so a 65C02 would be $5.21. Mouser is showing them at £4.87/$7.45
