I'm looking for a DP8303 but with some software
changes I could most likely get a DP8304 to work. the right functionality (current drive, etc.) with
more than one chip
on a daughter card and plug it into the socket for the DP8303?
Wish I could help.
Wonder why they picked something that was so far out of mainstream.
They weren't unusual; I've seen quite a few on early 8-bit machines.
The DP8304 is an octal tri-state non-inverting bidirectional
transceiver, with PNP inputs and 48mA/300pF drive capability on the B
outputs, 16mA on the A outputs (all of which are TTL and MOS
compatible).

CD is Chip Disable; low enables the tri-state outputs
TRAN/notREC low makes A output and B input
TRAN/notREC high makes A input and B output
DP8303 is the same but inverting; DP8307 and DP8308 are similar but
with separate Transmit and Receive inputs. All were still current when
my 1996 Nat Semi databook was printed, but the DP8304 was the most
common, in my experience.
