...which is, IIRC, not very much related to a Z80 :-) I don't see any
real problems to find Z80 chips at all - almost any retailer who
provides any electronic components has them (if not, I'd not consider
ordering there :-)). It may be a little bit more difficult to find
specific Z80 versions (clock frequencies, special uncommon peripherals).
WRT wdc: Actually, infact you can order small quantities (>=10) from wdc
if you ask politely via email. Don't expect cent prices, though. wdc is,
however, more attractive for the 65816, which I'd recommend for more
sophisticated hobbyist designs.

I believe the Zilog Z80 is still made. At least it
was in 2004.
May be a different part number though.
The 65C02S is still manufactured - see <http://www.westerndesigncenter.com/>.
