Hi David,

I live in Auckland, so am well familiar with the issues you have. I
have found the guys at Apex Electronics to be very helpful and they
carry a pretty good range of processors. There is another company in
Mt Wellington that sell some, but I cant remember their name right
now, will try and get it and send it to you. I also have some Mega8
(TQFP), TINY13 (SOC) and Tiny26 (DIP20) that I can sell if your only
looking for very low numbers. My email is hein@andante.co.nz

Cheers
