wanted a simple solution like the ZN428E for driving an analog
 meter from an 8-bit port. 
 There are other D/As with 8-bit inputs. If memory serves, Analog
 Devices make a couple of cheap 8-bit multiplying D/As with parallel
 inputs. 
 
   Yeah, I was gonna say.  There are oodles of them, and they're
cheap and readily available.  Does the ZN428E implement some special
functionality that's hard to find?  (I've not looked at the datasheet)
