Sorry if this was mentioned previously, but I was just mucking around the Digikey site, and parts search indicates they have selected AVRs in stock now. http://www.digikey.com/ AT90S1200 AT90S4433 AT90S4434 Apparently no: AT90S2313 -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.

Just out of curiosity, the word here is that Atmel AVR's and 8051's are going to be twice the price soon because of a "shift in focus" by the company, is this the same story everyone else is getting? I only use their AT89C2051/4051's and for the 40 pin stuff I've switched to Winbond.

This isn't likely to be the sort of thing that everyone hears about. At twice the price, a fair number of the AVRs would still be cheaper than the nearest PIC equivilents, and a "good deal." Funny that compaq announced them as processor for their Ipaq pocket device. The press release says compaq is using the 8535 to control the touch screen display and power management in the Ipaq. I wonder how many separate CPUs are in the whole thing? BillW -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
