I've been looking at an old design that uses the National PC8477BV floppy disk controller interfaced to a Renesas SH7032. The problem is that PC8477BV is obsolete. What alternatives would you recommend? I'd like the alternative to be available for at least a couple of years.
Thanks

Hello
How many do you think you would need? I've got some PC8477BV chips in PLCC package in stock, left over from a project I did about 7 years ago. New, never been used.

Thanks for the offer but my customer looks after build for themselves. The issue is really to try and get a floppy drive attached to a SH7032 processor using components that are likely to be available for the next few years with a build of 100-300 units per year.

I would rather worry about the availability of floppy drives in this time period. They are almost extinct now. Why no flash memory cards?
