Want To Buy IC 54LS188J

[Robert Smith]

I need following ICs for a repair/maintenance contract.

1) IC P/N 54LS188J or P/N 54LS188J/883B
&
2) Honeywell P/N 3718682-31

Any one having New/Unused ICs, please E-Mail offer to;

[email protected]

Indicate date code.

I am looking to buy up to 50 each.

Thanks,
Robert Smith

Cure??

100 ceramic /883B chips are going to be very expensive.
What's wrong with a 74188? And why so many defective
32 x 8 proms anyway?

BTW, are you sure an LS version of the '188 was ever
made? Perhaps you should try seeking out some old
SN74188AJ parts if ceramic is required.

Thanks,

I'm guessing from the 54xxx part and the Honeywell P/N that this
is mil-spec stuff. Substituting a 74xxx probably won't get approved

Finding new blank 54LS188J's will prove difficult... But I have
known purchasing departments that bought used bipolar PROM's because
they were so much cheaper than new

Yea, used OTPs should be really cheap!

Yeah, and you sometimes get the data in them free too.

The guys at RSA Labs (who make encryption software) have a setup to generate
large random prime numbers for encryption keys. (I don't remember what they
use to generate randomness - maybe a scintillation counter.) They used to
joke that they charged a lot more for used numbers than for new ones

Try looking for a 54S188 perhaps? Lots more hits than for LS.

I wonder if the fella can use 38510 class parts.

Have you check out places that deal with obsolete components such as
Rochester electronics? There are several others out there in this field.

I've found a company with about 100 off 54S188...

The company is "Circuit Solutions Inc".

Click on their link on this page...

(Long URL might wrap)

Their web site http://www.cirsolutions.com has some strange protection on it
that makes it hard to cut and paste their address :-( anyway they are at:

1580 Lakeland Ave

Bohemia

New York 11716

Tel (613) 563-1100

Fax (613)563-0926/0945

I have no connection with this company, never even heard of them before.
