Yea, I have enough of the various parts for ~25 boards.  I *think* I may have
more in the “basement” of my shop but I won’t know until I start to unpack it.

I’ll eventually have to come up with some sort of alternative (not pin compatible)
but that’s OK since one of the things that sucks up the board space is the 5v to
3.3v level translation (and going to/from tri-state, etc, etc).
