What do you expect manufacturers to do exactly? They all sell replacement parts, it is good business. You obviously can't expect them to support models forever

You obviously can't expect them to support models forever. Even right now their suppliers keep open ancient manufacturing lines for the ancient chips used in these controllers.
>If you are a collector good luck.
Good thing that is a small minority of, usually well off, people.
- bluGill 2y agoChip manufactures have very different business from car part manufactures. The car parts manufacturers would love to sell me a new ABS controller, but the chips that go into it are not made anymore and they don't have the ability to get them made in many cases. Most often because they just bought some common part like a 16 bit CPU - when they have their own custom chips they can maybe find someone else to make them (though sometimes this isn't possible)
