Thanks, Lyle!

I did a little digging - it appears that the MMI 6300-1 is pin
compatible with the 82s126 (and is open-collector as well).  I know I
have a few 6309s lying around because we used a pair of them for boot
ROMs for the first model of COMBOARD.  I don't know if I have any
82S126s or 6300-1s, though.
