Well Done Futurlec! This group now sells the ATMEGA128-16AC in one off quantities for $15.90US (24/07/2003). I have been hunting around for the Mega128's for months in small quantities for hobbyists!
Quoted from their website "Orders from hobbyists and single part orders are most welcome. We do not have any minimum order charge and we welcome all customers from anywhere in the world."
Futurlec has plans to start a Australian web site with Australian prices in the near future. We will be staying tuned for this!
Dontronics sell small quantities of AVR's to hobbyists around the world on-line. He only sells DIP parts, a little limiting in the current world of SMD. Prices in AUD and USD.
Polykom is an on-line distributor of small quantity electronic parts to businesses. They sell the full AVR range. All prices listed are in Australian Dollars (AUD) and are exclusive of GST unless otherwise stated.
Farnell is a worldwide catalog company with warehouses in most countries. Great for 1 off parts, but you pay for it! Not the cheapest source but delivery is overnight and parts are in stock most times. Very good service. Farnell also has a delivery charge and minimum order
Peter sells components worldwide, payment can be made in USD. He has a bank account in Australia for Australian orders.
JED Micro sell some very nice AVR boards. I have used their AVR570 in my Nokia F-Bus Project. This little board sells for around $66AUD and saves lots of time. Check out their web site for some great products.
My Trimble Lassen SQ GPS Module came from STEP Global. This is one great GPS module, only 26mm x 26mm x 6mm in size and draws only 100mW at 3.3V or 133mW with antenna. This module has been used in my USB GPS unit and car tracking system. When I purchased the unit it sold for $160AUD all up with antenna (GST exclusive).
