Recently Available (at least listed in my 1990 IC master)
were the AY3-1015 from Microchip (Formerly General Instruments Semi.),
the COM8017 from Standard Microsystems and the HD6402 from Harris.

The HD6402 (with some new part number similar to it) are in the latest
Newark catalog.  The COM8017 are listed in an advertising page
in the latest Active catalog, but not in the price lists.

And if you're fishing the surplus market, there's also parts
from AMI (s1602), Fujitsu (MB8868) and Intersil (IM6402).
And a bunch of real old chips that needed +5 and -12 volts.
(AY5-1013, MM5303, TR1602)
