And while you're at it, also try Dallas/Maxim.
I've still got a number of Dallas real time clocks and the crystals to run them,
and some other maxim chips whose function I forget now.

Also try National Semiconductor.
There's also a mob that make enclosures that agreed to send a free sample,
but I never followed it up.
