Tony,
Do you have any idea who still supplies this item?
If you find out, tell us all!
I did notice that for newer, non-DEC Qbus designs, I saw lots of 7438s
and 8838s talking to the Qbus.* For old designs/repairs, you are, of
course, stuck with whatever the vendor used, even if it's unobtanium.

* - these were CompuServe-manufactured boards for their Intel-based
Qbus communications servers that replaced the older DEC-PDP-11-based
comms servers. One of the dual-height cards had a wad of SMT 8838s.
I didn't know you could _get_ 8838s in an SO package.
