If you mean the ATMEGA8515, then apparently not. At least it didn't show up in a search of their site.

Yeah, I saw them in Jaycar's catalog for $65. A bit expensive. I rang them asking if I can just buy the board but they say no. I thought may be I can get some of the components from an old P3 (no longer works). The kit has a few things like infrared remote controls that I don't really need. The main thing is how I can implement the finite-state engine to get the CD ROM playing the CD. I also have an old (APPLE ][+) power supply that I can just plug into the power input socket of the CD ROM.
