Mike,
I have used the 67f687 in my project, I started it at the time this chip was
released (actually have engineering sample silicon!) and tried recently to
bottom out the availability (or lack of) rumours. Long story, spoke to UK
represenative for SSI/TDK and SSI factory, bottom line - now finished
production. BUT.... I have it from the horses mouth that there is still die
stock at the factory in the US. If someone is enterprising or brave? enough
to commit to ordering a reasonable number (a few hundred I guess) I get the
impression that these brill devices are technically still available but I
couldn't get any idea of cost. If anyone fancies a go, I can supply a
contact at the factory. This is the situation as of last week.
GOOD LUCK!
Richard
