Default Where To Find "Mini Pearl" Currant Tomato?

I have searched high and low and no one seems to have these anymore.
They are (were) the best currant tomato I ever grew - tasty and disease
resistant. The heirloom currants from Mexico that I tried last year
succumbed early to pestilences that don't even touch my Brandywines.

I would even be tempted to try to hybridize it myself if someone could
tell me what its parents are.

Alternative cultivar suggestions are welcome but please recommend
something that is a currant (teeny weeny, pea-sized) tomato and
moderately disease resistant. The "Supersweet 100's" and "Sweet
Millions" just don't cut it for me, size- and taste-wise.
