UDN5804b

Hi All ... I am in the process of building a parallel port 3 axis
stepper motor controller and living in the great white north (Canada)
am having a hard time locating the UDN5804B stepper motor driver.
Would anyone happen to know where I can buy 10 of these IC's. There
are a lot of places that want you to buy a hockey sock full of them
with minimum orders of $100 or so and I would rather not go that route
as they probably would not make good fishing lures with the many I
would have left over.
Now of course the chip is obsolete and so is the circuit would
anyone happen to know of a newer schematic for a parallel port 3 axis
stepper motor controller that uses DIP parts and can be interfaced
with programs like DanCam or other CNC programs.

thanks in advance and take care ...Vic
