How possible would it be to emulate this chip in a FPGA or CPLD or whatever it is you use?
Surely as time goes on that would be a option that gets cheaper while using original chips is a option which gets more expensive and harder?

Already underway https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/forum/viewt ... 120#p20010

Working with Exxos we have this board which is about to be sent off to be produced. Of course there is still a lot more to do with this board.

Not sure it was an idea I had. Maybe I should just start blamestorming everyone else and see who it sticks to!
