Is there interest in doing a bulk buy of PIC 16C84's, or perhaps
another PIC?  I know this one is very popular due to eeprom, and I need
several for upcoming projects.  I thought if there is interest, I would
try to put together a bulk purchase and save everyone some money.
        I was thinking of the of the 10 Mhz, 18 pin Dip package.  By
getting the faster speed everyone will be satisfied, even though it cost
a little more.  If there is interest in 25 units, we can get a
decent discount over the 1 piece price.  If there is interest in
100 or 1000 it is much cheaper, I like to be optimistic.
        If your interested, email me directly with aproximate of how many
you might be interested in.  I will put everyone who is intersted on a
email macro to keep you up to date.  I wished I could publish prices, but
I want to see what kind of price break we can get first based on
the interest poll.  (It should definately be <$10)

        This will be the second bulk buy I have organized, and I will try
to provide references if anyone wants.  On that note, I will have several
LMD 18200 Full Bridge Motor Control IC's left over if anyone is
interested (6 amp surge!).

Thanks,
Ben
