Does anyone know of a source for an IDT 79R4600-100MS processor? These are RISC processors that were used on KI (kILLER inSTINCT) boards using surface mount technology and I haven't been able to locate anyone that has them on hand without going through some sort of quote process where I have to buy a minimum of 6 or so. If necessary, I can put this in a WTB post but from my Google searches, there were others having difficulty locating this part as well.

I e-mailed Chad some time ago but he hasn't returned my e-mail. The board I have has had the processor knocked completely off of it and the legs are mangles. I'd rather not risk putting this one back on the board but will if I have to.
 
I don't know about the 100(MS) but the R4600 CPU's I know were used by SiGraph in some of their computers BITD.
 
Remember too, if getting quotes, that you need the QFP package version of the chip, not the apparently far wider produced PGA version...

There are thousands of these out there in warehouses of chip suppliers in China, it's just a matter of dealing with the gazillion middlemen suppliers and their silly quote process.
