My FLUKE 8020A DVM just crapped out. It has 1 large 40 pin chip made
by INTERSIL #429100 (there isn't much else there, but i'll check all
the obvious stuff before i get a replacement). Do i have to get it
from FLUKE??

Symptoms:
o ohms ranges - bounce between infinity and some lower figure (shorted)
o voltage (DC) - shows close to 0 with no input, any input causes
  overrange indication.

I just took a quick look in my Digi-Key catalog. Could it simply be a
3 1/2 Digit LCD A/D Converter (ie Harris ICL7106CPL)??
