Thank you for the quick answer. I found a source in UK

Probably the shipping is much more expensive than the chip itself, but it's
better than nothing.

But then I need to do the UART boot mod, right? But this is perhaps less
work than soldering an adaptor for the programmer.
My HW info screen says ROM CRC: 0x222F V1, this means that I have a box with
boot ROM if I interpret your flashing descriptiom correctly.

Thank you for your help,
