| Reliable source for L88M m68040 CPUs? |
Posted by: johnklos on 2016-02-01 19:25:28
Does anyone know of a reputable seller who has L88M mask m68040 CPUs for sale? I really want to finish my Quadra 610 - it has a NewerTech Quadra Overdrive, but it isn't stable with the CPU it has, so I'd like a CPU I know will work.
The last one I bought from "u-barn" on eBay was counterfeit, and the one before that from a seller I don't even remember was an LC040 labeled as a full '040.
Suggestions?

I got mine from this seller on eBay. He appears to be out of L88M revisions now, though. He does offer a choice of K63H and 2E42K masks if either of those fit the bill for you.

Sadly Freescale just EOLed the MC68040 (I wonder if anyone stocked up before the EOL): http://cache.freescale.com/files/shared/doc/pcn/PCN15939.htm

Rochester Electronics has some inventory, sadly expensive: https://www.rocelec.com/parts/details/?part=56b29c5fe4b06adcbe2cd3c3&build=0
K63H mask don't seems to be much different from what I read anyway.

I suspect that Freescale hasn't run a rack in some time and has been pricing existing stock to make it last.

I just bought one from metalman on eBay. Luckily, they don't go bad often, so I'm not worried about having more in stock than the number of m68040 Macs I have. Now when the FPGA board that slots in to an m68040 socket comes out, well, that's another story...

For future reference for anyone else looking for the same seller, their full ID is metalman80. The rest of their items don't seem to have much to do with vintage computing or rare ICs, so who knows what they will have down the track.
