I used to watch eBay for 'junk' QBus cards like DRV11W, etc. as a source
of spare parts of DEC specific ICs.

One of my rqdx3 boards suffered a trauma in a previous life and one of

I removed the old chip, but what now?
Does anyone have a spare DC005 or know of a suitable replacement? I
assume this is one of the magic DEC chips for qbus.
I suppose I could try extracting one from another board, but that is
pretty painful... dips are easier to get out if you can snip their
leads.
