That conflicts with my ideals and goals on collecting/repairing these
machines. The expansion interface for the model I also seems to be
somewhat hard to find, as I haven't seen one in a thrift store in quite
some time. The model 3 and 4 have a different 1771, which I seem to
remember is not an exact replacement.
This particular TRS-80 was given to me by its original owner some years
back before he passed away. We had made plans for me to to pick up even
more old stuff to go with it, but he died before that happened.

I have a complete TRS-80 Model I that has a dead
Western Digital FD1771-01
chip in its expansion interface. Does anyone know if a National 1771-B01
is a suitable replacement? What would be a fair/reasonable price for a new
1771 these days?
You can get one for cheap if you go down to the thrift store and buy an old
TRS-80. That will cost less than a new WD1771, I'd bet.
