Larry --

If my memory serves me correctly, B-B was recently bought up
by Texas Instruments(?).  I suggest that you contact TI
directly for news on this component.

You should also visit  http://www.chipdir.com  and consider
joining the ChipDir-L email list.  Part of their objective
is help with information and sources of supply for hard to
find chips.  If you want to really get their attention you
should plan on purchasing about US$200.00 worth of parts.

It is quite likely that B-B components will be in a state of
flux for at least several several months while TI(?)
optimizes and integrates the B-B product line into their
own.

It may not be a bad idea to find a substitute for the 7807. 
Sixteen bit A/Ds are becomming mainstream today so finding
one should not be real hard.

I suggest Maxim, Linear Technologies, Analogue Devices and
National Semiconductor as starteres.

	Please email me if I can offer additional information.

	Sincerely, Bob Smith
