I placed a samples order yesterday and received a shipping confirmation today.
2 each of 328 DIP -PU and P-PU
2 each of 644 DIP -PU and P-PU
2 each 1284 DIP
2 each AtTiny85
As long as you use a corporate email and delivery address and explain the use then it seems smooth enough.
The 1284 is what I was really after as RS Components don't have any stock until the new year. I live about 2 miles from their head office.
I'm looking forward to playing with the freebies and experimenting with bootloader burning and some stripboard builds before designing some PCB's for protoyping via recommended Chinese PCB manufacturers.
