I found several sc77527p on ebay

I also found several sc77526p  on ebay (but I don't remember it's use)

for each old computer I buy I prepare a box with spare parts

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...
