There's not much to like about the 8271 but I suppose I've gotten fond of it
out of habit or something.

I have a model B that came with a dead 8271. I would like to keep it original
rather than fit a 1770 but the last time I went looking for an 8271 they were
hard to get and expensive and that was donkeys years ago. I presume they are
nearly impossible to find now.

Does anyone know of a secret stash of 8271s or have one that they can let go
after replacing it with something else?
