All, I had a component supplier get back to me today -- they appear to have several *hundred* IM-6100s in stock. Looks like I'll be able to do a bulk purchase on these to at least fill OSI 560Z kit needs. Contact me off-list if you'd like to purchase some of these CPUs independent of a 560Z kit. Information: the IM-6100 is an Intersil product that implements most of a PDP-8/e on a single chip. It doesn't handle memory management like the later 6120, but you can implement it yourself. It's used in the Ohio Scientific 560Z "Processor Lab" to allow PDP-8 code to be executed on an OSI system. Thanks, Jonathan
