Title: Amstrad Multi Cart 27C080
Post by: Beaps on 20:17, 19 June 24
I thought I would make a start and have a go at making a multicart. I'm still missing a few parts but cannot find any 27C080 chips in the UK.

Does anyone know where I can find them or willing to sell me some please

I would go with EEPROMs like
SST39SF040
But your chip is available at Digikey for example, they ship to the UK:

The EEPROM is half price (taking into account it is half size)

I bought them from AliExpress. Also 27C160 would be an option, then you can get up to 8 games on a normal sized cartridge.

The 27C080 is a difficult chip to find and getting more difficult by the day. I would recommend choosing something else for your design.
