Well, look at his user name... W8TZ => I read that as "WAITS". Since he never updated this thread, I was just helping him move on with his life.
It was funny, I saw it in ebay so I Googled it and this old thread was near the top of the list. Must be a dead chip if the best Google could do is this 3 1/2 year-old thread!
You better sell your old chips if you don't need them or your family will in an estate sale. I picked up a box of about 500 chips/op amps/voltage regulators for $5 recently.
