Prices on megabit chips jumped a couple of weeks ago, going from
~$20/chip to ~$25/chip. I'd be surprised if you can find chips for
less than what Allegra is selling.

Of course, you should also watch for Allegra's prices to go up about
$100/megabyte. At least that's what ASDG's prices did (or so I've been
told).

Microprocessors Unlimited has the best prices I've seen - in some
cases better than board distributors were getting. Their price on
megabit chips last week was $26.50/chip quantity 1 - many.
