I have been trying to get some information
from Intel on price and availabiligty of
one time programable 8051's ( the windowless
eprom plastic part.  I know they exist! but Intel's
sales office in Toronto doesn't.  Five phone
calls to the head office in California has
also failed to give results (no one calls back).
Stories I have been told by Intel in Toronto are:
	8751's are $80 each, $40 in quantity 1000
	masked rom 8051's are $3.00 each but
you need a minimum oreder of 2000 and there is a
$3000 setup charge.
	The windowless eprom part that is one time
programable doesn't exist but if it did it would
be only about $5.00 cheaper than a 8751\ because
plastic is not much cheaper than ceramic etc. etc..

We all know that Intel uses the one time programable part
when you order masked rom 8051's  - there
is no way they would make a new die to 
spec for each oreder.
So - my question is  - where can I get
hold of 590-1000 otp 8051's .  I don't need
2000 chips and can't afford to get then 
"masked"\ by Intel.
Thanks in advance
