32MB DiskOnChips for $20 (Pulls)

I ruined the 16mb DOC in my websurfer by playing around with USB CF drivers for DOS and was looking for replacements when I came across this link:

http://www.allelectronics.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi%3Fitem%3DDOC-32

for a 32mb DOC for only $20. It's a pull so it's not new, but it's much cheaper than the $60 to $70 I see for replacement DOCs. I ordered one and will report back no its condition/usefulness.

not sure if these are the ones that go into the inetapps, but i thought i'd share since it looks like a good price on a per meg basis... this guy's been selling these DiskOnChips for a while.

Be careful when buying DOC's that you get the proper voltage. If the part number ends in -V3 (or similar), then it is a 3.3v part. All of the i-Appliances, SBC's, etc. that I've worked on use the 5v part. These don't have the "-V3" appendage to the part number.

It is a pretty safe guess that putting a 3.3v part in a 5v socket will have the same effect as installing the chip backwards. That is, you end up with a useless trinket suitable for making into a keychain <g>.

The 3.3v parts have been selling for very low prices on eBay. I imagine that the few that have sold have gone either a very happy buyer that got a great deal, or a very sad buyer that bought something they couldn't use.

HTH.

you could modify the 5v down to 3.3v by mean of 3.3v zener diode or a drop down reistor at pin 1?

vwbug19: I'm not sure if the 3.3v vs. 5v applies to just the supply power or to all of the signals. Normally, the price delta between the two versions wasn't large enough to make it worth thinking about.

The one I got from http://www.allelectronics.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi%3Fitem%3DDOC-32 seems to be the 5 volt version.
