I think you mean 9601.  Anyway, I searched my corner of the universe,
and had no luck finding versions that don't use the 9601.

However, I have done some work with CAD drawings of these cards,
based on the assumption that I would have to build replacements,
(rather than find original cards somewhere).  So if that interests
you (the M715 hasn't been finished yet), let me know (the
replacements do not use the 9601, since they are no longer available).

Ouch!
