Where to get special ICs? (From Switzerland)

[Alex Stettler]

Hi all!



I need from time to time a special IC or other component for my
projects, like a MCU, a special Op-amp or in the near future a DSP. And
I'm living in Switzerland.
And it seems, that it's a very big problem to live in Switzerland a want
to get special ICs! :-)
I've found the www.QuestLink.com which sells international.
So I tried to order 2 DSP56002FC66 from Motorola for starting to
experiment with DSP.
But today I got a mail from them, that I'm an international customer,
and so they are unable to check my
credit card.
And a similar problem exists with Newark Electronics, they sell only to
USA an Canada.
Then the next is Farnell, but a lot of ICs they only sell in quantities
of 64 or more it seems to me. And I havn't got the money to buy a whole
bucket of DSPs at the moment.

So does anyone know a website or a company which sells special ICs like
DSP, MCUs and other analog specialities to Swiss customers?
And which won't have any problems with my normal VISA-Card :-)



Many, many, many thanks for all suggestions and help in advance!!!
