[sdiy] B566AC anyone? report on DK70 bender neck

[Brock Russell]

Bob,

The full part number is uPB566AC and it's a 980 MHz prescaler with 
divide by 64/65 and 128/129 functions. Don't have the datasheet, just 
the listing in my 89-90 NEC product selector guide. Not going to cut 
it as an NE566 replacement.
