Looking for MC3484 peak/hold injector drivers

    Do you have the address? What is this, a Motorola 68332 group?

might even be reasonable.  How much does Cherry want?

    I didn't ask. Even at $4 each that's a lot of money! But a group 
purchase might still be a good idea...

damn custom ICs.

    Thanks for the input, Bryan. The advantage to the peak-hold driver 
(as opposed to a simple switch with a ballast resistor) is a much 
faster opening and closing time. This becomes more important at small 
pulsewidths...better repeatability, larger dynamic range. (Problem is 
the RL time constant).
