I got mine from PCB Europe:

I think quite a few other of the EU vendors carry them as well.

I'm pretty sure you can use inline assembly, as the IDE is really 
nothing more than a thin pre-compiler and wrapper. I don't see why you'd 
want to do that though, when C is probably as efficient if you 
understand what the compiler does behind the scenes.
