You could get them up until several months ago.  I have about half a tube, but sure
wish I had bought more.

The other chips are still relatively easy to find @ sometimes prices that buys you another coco ...lol. That being said, some smart people here in the group are working on solutions to at least replace those chips with or without improvements.So I would not be worry about your coco stops working, the only thing that could be a problem is time, and for that nobody found a equivalent....

Like I know that the GIME chip is not available (at least as of yet) but what about other chips??? Are they "HARD TO FIND" or completely unavailable. With such a list, we all might be able to determine the LONGEVITY of our beloved CoCo's...
