We've tried before to find it, unsuccessfully. The TIA (which was
codenamed Stella in development, hence our name) was a
custom chip for Atari and was never manufactured beyond the
2600 and its clones. The best place to get a TIA chip is at
your local thrift store, inside a VCS. :)

It usually goes by its part number, 6532. Jameco.com has it
available but doesn't say a manufacturer. Digikey shows a
version with 8K RAM, manufactured by Texas Instruments.
