There was some talk about repro'ing the Quad Pokeys, but some guy apparently has a ton of NOS ones (I had almost talked Jrok into making them until we found out about this). They are even being sold at reasonable prices. Take a look a Deja.com and you should see it.

So are the LETA chips available anywhere?

Also, I would like to suggest that the vectorlist FAQ have cross references for the DAC's and any other hard to find vector part.
