It's certainly all relative but I wasn't really interested in the MOS
3.50 chips when they first appeared at about the &pound;12.99 mark but
I think the last time I saw them they were going for about &pound;7.99
which is going in the right direction and probably about what I
would be prepared to pay if I really wanted MOS 3.50.

There was some discussion on the list previously about whether
the ones on E-Bay were in fact genuine Acorn parts or EPROM 
copies so that would make a difference.

I have MOS 3.50 in my Master 512 (Station 201) as well as the
original packaging so it isn't very high on my "wants" list.

Best wishes,


Ian

Hmm!

The list does seem to get impressive, with the passage of time.

I know this is a rather relative question, Ian, but, as a rough guide,
what sort of upper limit would you consider fair to pay for such
an item (just for the chip itself) in UK Pounds?

Thanks and best wishes, Raf
