 I'm looking into using TI's AM26S10C quad transceivers. They don't
 have the OR-ed enable you get on a 8641, but that's nothing that can't
 be remedied with a bit of logic upstream. They are about $1 a piece
 and come in both DIP and SOIC packages. I ordered a few but haven't
 played with them yet. If they do the job and will respond to 3.3V,
 they could even be hooked straight up to a 5V-tolerant PLD. 
 
I've looked at those for a while, but haven't found anyone who actually stocks
them.  A number of places have them in their catalogs but have a 28 week lead time.  Where
did you find them?
Ideally the part that I want is similar to the 26s10 but it's non-bus side signals are
tri-state and LVTTL compliant.  That would save me a fair number of parts.
