        The DAC312 is a perfect drop-in replacement for an AM6012.
I think we discussed this on vectorlist some time ago (before you were
around.) I have used DAC312s successfuly to replace AM6012s.

        I hadn't heard that the AD561 was a replacement for the MC3410,
but I never really looked into it at all.
