I've got a partially functional 8520 sitting right here I could send you. :-)

This problem is nothing new. I had to wait nearly 3 MONTHS to get the 
replacement for that chip. I was lucky, and wasn't relying on my own, personal
Amiga for my livelyhood at that time. But, being a developer, I found the
wait very disheartening, since I could have been suffering financially while
plenty of new 8520's were going out the door in thousands of 500's and 2000's
every day! For your sake, and others, I do hope this situation is cleared up
very soon. Good luck.
