Does someone still make 6502s, or have they been discontinued as well?

The firm carrying the torch for thr 6502/65816 runs out of an office the size of a large house on a largely residential street in a suburb of Phoenix.

IIRC, The 6502c is still in production.

Someone’s going to end up making an adapter for the new variants to plug into a DIP.
