[sdiy] looking for some cem3372 chips

[Travis Thatcher]

 I completely agree, and was considering a re-design soon.  It started
as a personal project, as I had a few 3372s lying around and found a
source to get 50 or so rather cheaply. I am looking for alternatives,
but for now would love to do a final run.
