[sdiy] Hmmm...OK NOW you can panic :(

[James Patchell]

I actually told everybody about the CA3080 going away back in June 
sometime...I already got my lifetime buy in...

But besides National making the LM13700N, you can also get the NE5517N from 
ON Semiconductor...although, last time I checks...they still have not been 
widely distrubuted.

The CA3280E is not a good substitute for the CA3080, because it does not 
exhibit the same about of Gm for a given Iabc... :-(

Even so...Intersil does not appear to be healthy.  I have stocked up on 
CA3280s... (and if anybody else wants to, I am selling them at the 100 
piece price....$4)...
