The NEC7210 was discontinued several years ago; I had a
product which used them (a quad IEEE-488 board for VAXBI)
and it was the deathknell for that product.

I think National Instruments makes a pin-compatible
replacement for the 7210. It wasn't there in time to
save my product (which was just as well; it didn't
sell well enough to really pay for itself, although
I was informed that it did eventually pay for its
own development costs).
