SOLVED: AOUT MAX6007B alternative

[JargMarbin]

When I tried ordering MAX6007B it was going to cost over $1000 dollars because the mimimum order is gigantic.  This is too much money and too many parts.  I needed an alternative. 

I've seen a few postings where people are using LM385D-2-5 in a TO-92 package (http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php/topic,11647.0.html, http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php/topic,4026.msg26638.html#msg26638), but this reference is set to 2.5V (http://www.onsemi.com/pub_link/Collateral/LM285-D.PDF), which is not the same as the 2.048v of MAX6007B (http://www.datasheetcatalog.org/datasheet/maxim/MAX6006A-MAX6009B.pdf).  The LM385 is also less accurate then the origional MAX6007B part. 

The one I ordered to substitute is LM4040A20IDBZR, it's more accurate then the origional part, and the same voltage and package (http://focus.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/lm4040a20.pdf).

I found it here:

This is awesome.  I made a link to this thread on this Wiki page.

When will you have it working?
