Such a chromosome would probably be the Ts(XLt;YLt) from a translocation between a normal X and Dp(1;Y)B[S]Yy[+] or Dp(1;Y)B[S]----in other words, it would have an X heterochromatin break and a break distal to the male fertility factors on YS. The perfect chromosome would have its X heterochromatin break proximal to bb, but I'll take what I can get. If you have these flies, I'd love to get a sample. The only good B[S]-marked X^Y I've located has the Bithorax complex inserted at the base of the X. It may work for my purposes, but I'd like to find something simpler.
