Are you 100% sure of that? I was udner the impression

the reverse may not be true (and IIRC, the HP board that started this
doesn't have a -ve supply rail).
I should be more careful in my writing. The WD1793 takes a +12 and
+5 supplies, while the MB8877 requires only +5 (the other pin is NC).
A MB8877 will replace a WD1793, but not necessarily vice-versa.
In my particular situation, I've replaced WD1793s with MB8877s, never
the other way around. Thanks for catching that.
