bearpawz, Actually they did in the past. I have some of them and wanted to get some more but sometime yearly 06 they stopped making the 40 pin dip package. Darrel has a great idea. It could also be usefull for some of those plcc44 pic's as well.....

The max7219 can easily drive 64 leds. Not quite all that you need though. They come in dip packages and are pretty easy to interface too.
