I should be more careful in my writing.  The WD1793 takes a +12 and 
+5 supplies, while the MB8877 requires only +5 (the other pin is NC). 
A MB8877 will replace a WD1793, but not necessarily vice-versa.

In my particular situation, I've replaced WD1793s with MB8877s, never 
the other way around.  Thanks for catching that.

Cheers,
