Alternative chip other than the ATMega8 or 168

bubulindo:
Can you find AT90S chips (made by atmel)? I'm not sure they are pin compatible, but they are ATMEL chips and have the AVR GCC support for them. If you're looking for the bare chips, chances are you can program them, so it doesn't quite matter if they are ATmega or not.

@Senso, AVR chips aren't easily available everywhere... if it hadn't been for the Arduino, you'd probably still be "robbed" every time you wanted an AVR in Portugal.
