  Atmel's attitudes regarding their high-=end USB chips is considerably 
less amiable than their general attitudetowards low volume users.

  t ;least in so far as the ZT76C713/713 are concerned, they will not 
sample, and there appear to be no vendors that actually STOCK the 
doggoned things (or will quote pricing on them).  I sincerely hope that 
thier attitude changes with this chip.
