Where can one still buy an 8088? Are they still being produced?
- maximilianburke 12y agoI think you can still find them from electronics dealers; Jameco still has them listed in their online catalog, for example: http://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10001_10001_52169_-1 http://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_1000...
- kjs3 12y agoI don't know of anyone fabbing a monolithic 8088 these days, but you can license a feature complete 8088 core for use on an ASIC or FPGA from lots of firms. There's still a market.
- aswanson 12y agoI got one from ebay, along with an 8086 and z-80.
- tyrick 12y agoThat's also how I got mine.
- userbinator 12y agoApart from the usual sources of old/NOS stock, they are still being produced; a new one is rather expensive though: http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/CP80C88-2Z/CP80C88-2Z-ND/3074201 http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/CP80C88-2Z/CP80C88-... http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/IP80C88/IP80C88-ND/1063276 http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/IP80C88/IP80C88-ND/... There's also a military-rated version (this is probably one of the reasons why they're still in production...) which is in the $500+ range and curently not in stock: http://www.intersil.com/en/products/space-and-harsh-environment/-883/microprocessors-and-peripherals/80C88-883.html http://www.intersil.com/en/products/space-and-harsh-environm...
- sliverstorm 12y agoI think the Z-80 is the main antique 8-bit that is still around. The 8088 supposedly shows up a lot as an IP core, but not as its own chip.
