I'm almost out of Atmel 29C256 flash roms. I use these primarily for

to sell... and I want them for other projects. Mouser, Digikey, and
Jameco don't have it anymore. What are you guys doing to get these
and equivalent chips?
I have some 27C256, don't know if those are compatible. Alltronics in
San Jose (or thereabouts) used to have a massive stock of older chips.

FYI:
27Cxxx is an EPprom
28Cxxx is an EEprom
29Cxxx is a flash prom
Then can be pin compatible in SOME system but they program very differently.
IT the system expects to be able to rewrite some locatons then you need
EEPROM.
If the system expects to be able to rewrite blocks then it s flash.
If you put a Eprom in you can do none of those things without a UVlamp
and an external programmer(most cases).
The P112 can use all or any save for being in system writable if needed.
