Hi all,
Re a replacement for the Motorola modem IC, try here:
http://www.aeri.com/
Apparently they have 15 available.
AER seem to be able to track down pretty much anything, though price is
another matter. Still, could be worth checking for those really odd parts.
It's also interesting to hear that cows on the runway isn't only a New
Zealand phenomenon...
Mike.

Give that man a prize!
I found some PDF files in the Motorola Historical Archives...

I think there's some more digits that he didn't give you that nail
down exactly _which_ rev.
I have *no* idea where you are going to find a replacement.

I've been to a strip in NW Ohio, Fremont, that has a grass strip butting
into a narrow asphalt strip in a Tee shape... the State airport guide
warns that cows may be present on the grass runway and to perform a
flyover before attempting a landing there.
