I checked the website for availability on the Atmel 8515 (PLCC and TQFP
packages)- estimated time they will get 'em in - October 31st, 2000 (Isn't
that 4th quarter? ;).  Not Digi-Key's fault, though, Atmel has serious
supply problems.  Digi-Key has continued the tradition of high prices.  On
the AVRs, they are higher than the distributors we use, even down to single
quantities.

Word from our distributor is that Atmel is devoting most of its capacity to
Flash memories and allocating the rest of their MCU builds.  If you want
large quantities of Atmel MCUs, get in line and be prepared to wait 26-30+
weeks.

Just got the new catalog. They now carry AMTEL uPs, the Rabbit
2000 and more TI analog.
