Maybe National doesn't make it anymore. But that doesn't 
mean that all the second sources have dried up too. 
Maybe I should have said NE566. ;-)

It doesn't have such beefy push-pull stages. 
I doubt that the situation is as bad as with the bipolar 555. 
A little crosstalk is to be expected, when you don't take 
decoupling measures. Applies to CMOS as well!
