Where can one still buy an 8088? Are they still being produced?

I think you can still find them from electronics dealers; Jameco still has them listed in their online catalog, for example: http://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_1000...

Apart from the usual sources of old/NOS stock, they are still being produced; a new one is rather expensive though:

There's also a military-rated version (this is probably one of the reasons why they're still in production...) which is in the $500+ range and curently not in stock: http://www.intersil.com/en/products/space-and-harsh-environm...

I think the Z-80 is the main antique 8-bit that is still around. The 8088 supposedly shows up a lot as an IP core, but not as its own chip.

6502s are also still being made and used in all kinds of stuff.

8051, 6809, 650x are also still around.

I got one from ebay, along with an 8086 and z-80.

That's also how I got mine.

I don't know of anyone fabbing a monolithic 8088 these days, but you can license a feature complete 8088 core for use on an ASIC or FPGA from lots of firms. There's still a market.
