Bus transceiver chips for Q-bus and Unibus are *not* common as dirt
and more than a few of us have scratched our heads on how to create
new compatible circuits. Meanwhile, the scroungers taught me that
it might be easier to scrounge the bus transceiver chips off of dead
or readily available boards.
I've got a bunch of DEC chips that were Omnibus transceivers and other
stuff. (DEC380s, 384s, something like that. Collected to get/keep PDP-8
stuff running.)
There's a bunch of old TTL in the same collection. Given the recent
conversations perhaps I should put 'em all on eBay? :-)
L@@K R at R3 D3< CH1P5 !!!
What are the "interesting" part numbers? I'll have to look at the
collection and see if there's anything really useful.
