===== THE CHIP =====

AY-3-8912 is a 3-voice Programmable Sound Generator (PSG) designed by General Instrument, initially for use with their 16-bit CP1610 or one of the PIC1650 series of 8-bit microcomputers. The 8910 and its variants became popular chips in many arcade games, and was used on, among others, the Intellivision and Vectrex video game consoles and the MSX, Atari ST, Amstrad CPC, Oric 1, Colour Genie, Elektor TV Games Computer and Sinclair ZX Spectrum 128/+2/+3 home computers as well as the Mockingboard sound card for the Apple II family. It was also produced under license by Yamaha (with minor modifications, I.E. a selectable clock divider pin, and a double-resolution but double-rate volume envelope table) as the YM2149.

Lemonhorse is developing a [[midibox_ay_3_8912 | MIDIbox synth]] based on this great arcade sound chip. Read more in the forum [[http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php/topic,11653.0 | thread]].

===== THE DEAL =====

I have access to fifty, NEW OLD STOCK, AY-3-8912 chips for $3.99 USD each + $.42 PayPal fees, the cost per chip would be $4.41 USD or 2.94 Euro or 2.30 GBP or 4.95 AUD. 

You will pay for shipping to your home or office. I should be able to keep this low using United States Postal service in a padded envelope. Shipping should be around $6.00 USD internationally, even cheaper within the United States.

I'm still looking for a way to test the chips once they arrive. I will add an update here once I get that part figured out.

IF DEMAND GOES OVER FIFTY, I HAVE ACCESS TO MORE, BUT THE PRICE WILL GO UP, ACCORDING TO MY SUPPLIER, SO GET IT QUICKLY ON THESE FIRST FIFTY. My supplier has been sitting on these chips for a long time, so he bought them cheap and can offer them cheap. After these fifty are gone, the next order from Asia will have a higher price due to rising transportation costs.
