Frank Lucas has been selling some on Ebay lately, got one of his which works fine. Came with a socket too, which I will put in my STFM

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?
