Can't find BUF634U for MINT anywhere?!

Edit: Tangent sells them... how on earth did I miss that! Sorry for the bother

Hey everyone,

I just got started building amps, and with 2 working Cmoys under my belt I decided to try something a little ampier. The boards just got here today (Thanks, Tangent!) and most of the parts from digikey arrived yesterday - but digikey listed the two buffers as back ordered. It looked as though they could be shipped on Wednesday, and it even still looks like they thought they would get a shipment then:
----
Digi-Key Part Number BUF634U-ND
Description IC 250MA BUFFER 8-SOIC

Ship dates are approximate and subject to change.

Quantity Expected: 1
Ship Date Estimate: 8/10/2005
Delivery Date Past Due

And no word from then on when things will change. So I pulled up Newark (61 day lead time), Mouser (non-stocked), and in a fit of desperation even TI (0 in stock, no samples, 12 week lead time - but shows availability from 2 distributors in Europe???).

Looks like BUF634P and BUF634T are readily available, but everyone seems to have grabbed all the BUF634U off the shelves?

Anybody know what's going on, or have any suggestions on where to go from here?

Tangent lists these in his audio parts shop... did you check with him?
