Re: Need any SP0250's? (!)

Clay,

I've known where a source for SP0250's have been for a long time, but I've
never bothered getting them because of their price: somewhere around $20 per
chip. But as I've said, I never bothered getting them because I could barely
sell a speech board for that price. It just wasn't feasible.

I still think someone should look into seeing if we can get the cheaper and
more common SP0-256 chip to work instead and save us all some money...
