It looks like some have fallen out of stock. It's a constant battle for us vintage computer enthusiasts.


Yes, it certainly is! At least Digi-Key will ship the parts when they do come in.
I ordered the out-of-stock parts on eBay, though, since I'm notoriously impatient!


Good news! DigiKey has shipped all the back ordered parts so if you order now, you'll get the entire DigiKey portion of the BOM at once.

I should post a note about configuring the jumper block for the serial interface. Mike has posted some notes here that explains its quirks.

I chose the route of configuring the port as a DTE and then using a standard cable plus null modem adapter to my PC.
