I'm just
wondering about what happens when the current candidate for
substitution also becomes unavailable...
I do think I could make a Q-bus receiver from a linear IC, like an
"ultra-fast" comparator, pretty easily.

When I looked into it, I didn't find a very nice combination of price,
speed, and pin count. I think the ideal part would be a quad comparator,
with 10-20ns propagation delays, 200mV threshold, and rail-rail inputs.
If you know of inexpensive part like that, I could probably figure out
how to use it :-). (Someone with some expertise using linear chips
would be better suited to that task, though.)

"Ultra-fast" seemed to be the marketing term that was being used for
comparators that switched at these speeds, in the datasheets I was
reading.
