Hi
I'm looking for a DP8303 but with some software
changes I could most likely get a DP8304 to work.

There were actually two S-100 bus extensions on
ebay recently.
There was the one that was stated as such and there was one
that was described as a controller for a floppy drive and drive
( I forget which machine it was stated as being for, SYM1, KIM1
or R65 ).
Hmm... sorry I missed them.
I do have a card that was intended to be used
with the SYM-1 to
drive floppies. When I got it, it was missing the code ROM and
a data bus buffer. I've since located the code but the buffer chip
has been a problem. It is one of those oddball national chips
that can not be easily replaces by a '245 :(
What's the part number? I might be able to help (I have tubes of
8641s, for example).

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.
