I put this update in three different categories, because I thought it applied to all of them. Sorry about that!

I'll be more careful from now on.

I have had a couple of vendors in China (aside from the one I ordered from) tell me that they have short supplies of VIC chips available. There was one vendor that told me they had the 6560-101 for $3.20 USD and the 6561-101 for $3.21 USD, with a minimum order quantity of 50 each, so it'd have to be...

Awesome! Welcome to the forum and to the VIC! Fun has now taken on a new meaning for you and it will only get better!

I just checked with the supplier that I have my order with and they no longer carry the 6561-101. I'm sorry!

I currently have A LOT of Chinese suppliers bombarding me with e-mail right now, so I will keep you all posted.

Oh, man... the CoCo stick was awful! Best: XBOX 360, GameCube, Genesis (comfy and plugs right into a VIC-20) Worst: 5200 (ugh), the Odyssey 2's stick (utter garbage), the Wii (nice concept; getting kids off of the couch, but I hate bouncing around like a ninny) On the fence: Intellivision (pain in t...

I have the first North American version and the second, world-wide version. Which would you prefer?

This is awesome! Thanks for posting these!

I still need to send you the VIC 20 name badge to make it complete. I'll send it soon.

Thanks to all for the replies! If the chips are good and not faked, I will gladly share the contact info. so that anyone else who would like to buy the last 30 that they have can do so before the Apple ][ people get wind of it! LOL I only wanted 5 or 10 so that I could help out everyone in my User G...

Hello, all! I have recently run across an IC surplus supplier in China that claims to stock the NTSC VIC chip (NOS). They told me that there were only 50 left at $2.80 each (US) and that the minimum order is 20 units. I only wanted 5 or 10, but had to order 20 of them. Provided these are genuine and...

Welcome!

I got back into the VIC last Spring and my son got his first VIC over the Summer.

We're hooked, now!

Enjoy!

Awesome! Welcome aboard!

This is so cool! My son plays Pirates Cove and Adventureland on his VIC and loves them!

That's awesome! Thank you very much! I will get it downloaded tonight. I'd do it right now, but I'm on my iPad and the technocrats at Apple do not allow direct download of any file off of the internet, as it obviously violates the 11th Commandment - "Thou shalt not trust non-Apple web content&q...

OK, I will check that out... and will be very careful, because I want to end up with two working VIC's, not zero!
