They verified availability of the chip. The explanation for why this wasn't effective is one of the interesting parts of this video.
- tssva 4y agoVisiting a part supplier website and going by the listed inventory is not really verifying availability. It is a well-known problem that part site inventories are not accurate for out of production parts. Verification would have involved contacting the sites and having them actually check that the part was available in the quantity needed.
- justin66 4y agoI'm just curious, is that really any better than using the website? I assume until money has changed hands and the shipment has been arranged, a person on the phone might provide an "optimistic" view of available inventory, in the same way their website does.
