Hi all
Sorry if this is a bit off topic, but I'm kinda at my wits end. I am trying to
find somewhere in South Africa, preferably in Durban, to get Atmel AVRs in a
PDIP package. I contacted Arrow Altech and they only had surface mount, and
EBV wanted me to buy a minimum of like 300 and even then they took a week or
more to respond to my emails.
Right now I am prototyping a device that we hope to produce in quantity later
on but for now I can only justify buying a maximum of 10 AVRs. I'm looking
for proces on the parts below. The mega8 and mega48 parts are for 2 USB-ISP
units I wanna build for use in the workshop. The device I'm designing would
use the ATMega324 or ATmega644 device.
ATmega324PV-10PU
ATmega324PV-20PU
ATmega644PV-10PU
ATmega644PV-20PU
ATmega8L-8PC
ATmega8-16PC
ATmega48V-10PI
ATmega48-20PI
Any ideas where I can get these parts and how much they would be? If need be
I'll order them from outside the country if I have to and I can get them
here pretty quickly.
I bypass all the idiots in Australia because they're a total pain to get
parts below a minimum high MOQ. I get a lot of stuff direct from Arrow Nth
America. They have a good search and online ordering function:

Beware that the minimum order for any single part is $30 IIRC, so it might
be a problem if you only need a couple each of a dozen different parts.
The postage isn't cheap, so it makes sense to consolidate as many parts
as possible into one order.
