Ah, yes, I remember them well.  They're hex tri-state buffers --
the 8T97 is non-inverting and the 8T98 is inverting.  I don't
know if you can still get them or not, but you might have better
luck looking for 8097 and 8098 which are equivalents from another
manufacturer.  I have pin-outs and specs if that would be of any
use and I may even have some in the old junk box, but I'd have to
look.
