68K’s are still produced by Rochester Electronics; they are still used in some embedded systems (allegedly automotive systems?), which is good news for kit builders!
- Teknoman117 5y agoI'd never bumped into them before, interesting. Are you referring to this: https://www.rocelec.com/news/motorola-6800 https://www.rocelec.com/news/motorola-6800 ?
- krallja 5y agoI was talking about the 68k, not the 6.8k, but that’s very exciting news to me! Love it when a vintage chip reenters production.
- Teknoman117 5y agoThe tail end of that article mentions the 68000 based products. Unfortunately looking up the part numbers for the reproduced ones on digikey has them marked as obsolete.
