Noticed Farnell have the 3 package types of the Propeller available ... aside from the crazy price .. have a look at quoted memory size for the three variants ...lol

    The extra 32K shadow RAM has never been available in the QFP version. I'm sure I read it in the manual somewhere...

    There has never been more than 32K of RAM available in the Propeller. They may mistakenly be referring to the combination of 32K of RAM and 32K of ROM which is present. The package is irrelevant. All Propeller chips have the 32K of RAM plus 32K of ROM (plus a separate 16K of cog RAM).

    Well, at least they're not charging more for the DIP and QFN. The extra RAM may be write-only, which limits its value to some extent.

    Phil,
    Perhaps you should let them sell your remaining propstick p.c.b's ! - They are not afraid of charging ..Lol ..on second thoughts they would probably mess up on the spec/feature list ..lol

    John,

    Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm planning to clean up during the November rush to buy windshield scrapers.

    Phil ... entertaining as always .. guess the cat food trials failed then ? May I suggest that you reprint the labels - with a graduated scale and some numbers .. attach directly to PCB and hey presto .. some rulers .. or just change the marketing campaign to highlight all possible uses .. and up the price accordingly !

    Regards,
    John

    Well, I've been holding this back, but if the scraper promotion falls flat, I've got an ace up my sleeve for the holidays. I'm sure every Propper will be desperately seeking the perfect Christmas gift for his Significant Other. Imagine the look on her face when she unwraps a pair of these!

    I haven't set a price yet, but quantities are limited, so I suggest that anyone who's interested put in a reservation ASAP.

    The Propeller forum has given me so much. I hope that by helping to relieve a little holiday stress, I'm able to give some back...

    Those would be great for the holidays, but they need red and green flashing LED's!
