I apologize for not replying by mail but my success rate has not been
that good lately by that route.

I just noticed such a device yesterday in the 15 July issue of
_Electronic_Products_ in the "EP/IC Update section (p 91).  The one
mentioned is the Siemens SDA 8010 (contact Janet Hartley 201-321-8788)
186 Wood Ave. S., Iselin, NJ 08830.

Oops!  Company's full name is Siemens Communications System Inc.

I'm not personally familiar with the product but here are the summary
specifications from the magazine:

8 bits. Sampling frequency of 100 MHz; signal bandwidth of 50 MHz; 1.3-W
power dissipation; +-1/2 lsb linearity.  ECL compatible.  24 pin
ceramic DIP.

You may also want to enquire of RCA and TRW Semiconductor;  I know that
they make flash adc's.
