    Here is another one that is a stretch...RCA used to make the CA3304 which was a
4 bit flash converter...out of production now, but, you never know what you might be
able to find out there...

    And here is a news flash for some of you who may not be aware of this:

    Buckaroo Bonzai is being released on Jan 2, 2002 (this Wed) on DVD.  Has some
really great synth tracks on it besides being a real fun movie.
