When they are no longer made by the IC companies, there are no more. ( assumes stock is also used up.) Austin may correct this, but the IC processes have moved forward so quickly that in 5 years, most if not all the older process chips would be un manufacturability. Yes, inventories exist of these chips, but again, when they run out, that is it. Your M7 shutter might as well be a door stop. It is not a matter of desire to support customers, it is the ability to get the parts that is the problem. Long live the M1,M2,M3,M4,M5,M6! All-Mechanical shutters rule!
