Emax

I got 3 for $25 from a distributor- went through globalspec. The  
important thing to note is it is a 5380, NCR made it, it was copied  
by AMD, as well as zilog, and National Semiconductor too....

If you can't find an old mac, you may find a chip new...old stock  
somewhere.

Just a thought....
