Soon there will be an oversupply, they say...

... but right now we still have a chip shortage. It's not like I plan to invade another country and have to scrape together tons of components to keep my tanks rolling. I only need a single 74HC30. That's a very basic part that has been around since the early 1970s (if you count in the early TTL series). Just a tiny grain of silicon in a 14 pin package. Three of these pins are not even really used. It's also one of the fundamental parts of my DIY MMU. Well, like the guy who wants to keep his tanks rolling, I have now scraped a 40+ years old TTL version (a 7430) out of some junk. Lets pray that all my fancy modern CMOS does not tell this relic to go climb a tree.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

If not I have 19 CD74HCT30E PDIP-14 package
The less you need, the more you have. Even a blind squirrel gets a nut...occasionally. JaxCoder.com

Much better already. HC and HCT should not be mixed as well, but it's certainly better than an ancient TTL version.

Digikey.com has stock, CD74HC30 dip. Also I use findchips.com. Really problem is some of these parts are obsolete, not in production anymore.
