- I've used their PC bus card using a National Semiconductor LM629.
- I've used both the HCTL-1000 and the LM629 and I found in my application
- the LM629 was better. But the biggest drawback of the LM629 was that it's
- not available in surface-mount and its a power-hungry NMOS device whereas
- the HP part is CMOS
