Domestic Source for EPROMs

[atrax27407]

I'm looking for a domestic source for 27C010 and 27C040 EPROMs. I am aware of Unicorn Electronics and have used them in the past but I would like to find another source. Any ideas?

Here are some from the source of the last batch of chips I sent you, Atrax. He is in the US. I'm waiting for some 32K chips from him right now. . .

Thanks - I just ordered a small quantity of the AM 27C040 EPROMs. If they are as good as the ones you got, I'll be happy

Not all foreign EEPROMs are bad... I got some nice Winbond 27C040's (the flash kind) from China and they work pretty well.

 

Not sure if the same seller is still there, but here's my eBay search:

The nice part is that you can erase these in the programmer.

I ordered a lot of 5 AMD 27C040 chips from a supplier in Hong Kong and what I got were a bunch of unlabelled chips, none of which worked. The seller said that the chip logo must have "faded" during storage and sent me 5 more replacements that were equally as bad. All I can surmise is that they were Chinese counterfeits. Then, he had the unmitigated gall to ask me to change my negative feedback. Not bloody likely!
