WD1770 help needed

Hello all

Sadly, the WD1770 fcd IC in my home-brew fd i/o board finally gave up the
ghost. Fourteen years of service is admirable -- when it finally croaked, I
felt like weeping.

Additionally, in violation of my policy of *always* keeping spares of
discontinued components which I use -- I have no spare.

Does anyone know of a source for these? Or the 1772 (I believe Tony Duell
once mentioned that the 1772 could replace the 1770 in most cases -- but I
could be wrong).

Also, I understand that the C64 floppy drives (1581?) used the 1770 but I'm
not a commie and can't immediately verify this. Anyone out there with junk
C64 drives who wants to liberate this IC -- to a good home??

Any help at all on this will be greatly appreciated.
