  [stepping in as another interested voice]

  I do, and I know two people who regularly build 8085-based systems.
They are primarily noncommercial "hobby" projects, but let's keep in
mind that SDCC is regularly used for both commercial AND hobby projects.
 The hobby projects are every bit as "valid" and important to SDCC's
userbase, and by extension, to the SDCC project itself.

  New old stock, yes, readily.  Used, even more readily.

  Umm, because the OP wants to use an 8085?
