hi all,

I've been helping out a small amateur team who, for reasons
that don't concern us here, need to get hold of a few ancient
QuickLogic FPGA devices.  They have already been cheated
by at least two obsolete-part merchants who supplied devices
that have already been programmed - not terribly useful,
given that these are fuse-programmable parts.  Welcome to
the charming and honorable world of obsolete parts supply!

Does anyone have some unused QL12x16B, or the equivalent
Cypress CY7C383A, devices that they could part with?  Any
speed grade is OK, but the parts MUST be 68-pin PLCCs and
(obviously) MUST be virgin un-programmed devices.  Happy to
pay reasonable shipping costs and a modest honorarium, but
we're not interested in paying shark prices for suspect parts.

Even two or three devices would be welcome; six or eight
would be magical.

Before anyone asks: yes, we DO know that we can do this
with more modern devices, but as so often there are many
other constraints that make this unreasonably troublesome.

Feel free to respond here, or by email to jonathan
at oxfordbromley dot plus dot com.

Thanks in advance
