When I asked for information on the CM108/119, the manufacture indicated they were no longer making the chips, and recommended a newer version.

Don't know.
CM119 chips can be bought new off alibaba.com for cents each, qty 1, and free freight, and a breakout board to mount them is equally trivial. Steve
Steve, Have you purchased and used any of the chips from Alibaba? I have had BAD luck in the past getting cm119's from eBay and such. I get them from a CMedia distributor for about $2 each. Yes, they are more expensive, but I know if I take the time to solder them to a board, they will work!!!
