   Try Jameco Electronics.  They're a mail-order firm somewhere in California,
and they sell just about every chip that you'll ever find in a 64 or VIC-20
(yes, they even sell the custom gate arrays from the 64!).  I don't have their
address, but they advertise in BYTE and probably several other computer
magazines.

   The only problem is that I would imagine they have a minimum order, so if
the chip is less than that, you'll have to fill out an order by buying some
other stuff (buy a whole load of wire and some DB-25 connectors, put 'em
together in your basement, and sell them to friends as null modems ;-)

Hope this helps.

Regards
