There was the Rocket Chip, made by Bits & Pieces, but Zip sued it (and them?) out of existence. The Rocket Chip came in 5 MHz and 10 MHz versions. It is certainly not possible to buy the Rocket Chip new any more. Last I heard, MCTA (ex ZIP Technology) had run out of the 8 MHz ZIP chip, but they might have them available again. Either of them might be able from companies such as Alltech and Shreve: Alltech Electronics Co. 2618 Temple Heights Oceanside, CA 92056 U.S.A.
