Maybe Jameco.com.  I'll look in my parts bin at work as I might 
have one.   It was a pretty common FDC at the time.

Actually, some of the data lines were high and others were right in 
the middle.  I pulled the various ICs that were in sockets and now I 
can see valid highs and lows on the output of the eprom.  Putting the 
chips back in narrowed it down to the WD1772-02 FDC.  I lifted a data 
pin and monitored it with a scope while the CS-0 was high.  It's a 
hard high output.  I tried to pull it to ground with a 3K resistor and 
it's definitely not tri-state.

Anyone know where I can get a WD1772-02 cheap or free?

Dave
