Hi Dave,
You can still buy 1793s new from BGMicro for $4.49. Look on page 8 of
their catalog:

I have determined that the problem with my TRS-80 Model
IV is a bad
disk controller chip...
Unfortunately I don't have a spare - does anyone here have an extra
Western Digital 1793 (or compatible) FDC chip?
I have no trouble sucking it off of a board if necessary.
Am located near Ottawa, Ontario Canada, but will pay shipping costs
from "most anywhere".
Regards,
Dave
