  I'm looking for a DP8303 but with some software
 changes I could most likely get a DP8304 to work. 
Oooh... you are right... that is an unusual one.  I don't even
recognize the number.  Do you have specs?  Would it be possible to get
the right functionality (current drive, etc.) with more than one chip
on a daughter card and plug it into the socket for the DP8303?

Wish I could help.

Wonder why they picked something that was so far out of mainstream.

Hi
 I don't need the fancy differences in the currents. One
side drives a higher current than the other. The actual
circuit would work fine with a little simple glue logic
and a pair of '240 TTL's.
 It just has to drive the bus on the SYM and a little
bit of circuit on the on board bus.
 I'm just a little lazy at getting around to actually
doing it. The right chip would peak my interest.
