Does anyone know where one can purchase low-priced Intel (or equivalent)
8744 microcontrollers?   The are basically 8751 uC's with the on-board
UART replaced by a more sophisticated Serial Interface Unit.  The
prices I've seen so far (about $100.00) seem very high in comparison
to the cost of an 8751.  Something down around $30.00 would be more like
it.  Has anyone seen this part at about that price?

thanks,
