(Sorry about that last *empty* reply, my itchy mouse finger pressed the
wrong button)

This is just to let anybody interested know that the DAC-800 was a
monolithic replacement for the DAC-80, it's drop in compatible and has
tighter specs. The surplus store I by replacement parts had a few of these
and no DAC-80, so I bought them and they work fine! (In fact because of
their tighter specs, I'm currently running with those and use the DAC-80's
as backups).

I don't know the availability of these parts.
