Jaguar Gate Driver Source

I'm looking for a pin-compatible gate driver for the Jaguar (components U6 and U7) in the foolishly vain hope that I can fix one that was plugged in backwards So far, I've managed to find out that the original chip was the FAN5109BMX by Fairchild Semiconductor, but that chip is discontinued, and the recommended replacement is the ON Semi ADP3110A/ADP3210A. However, the former can no longer be purchased at all, even through Digikey, and the latter can only be purchased in bulk (minimum quanitity I've found is 98). I only need 2, although I wouldn't be opposed to getting a few more (say, 10).

I know fixing a Jaguar probably wouldn't be technically legal in competition (or wise), but our team has plenty of other projects that can benefit from $.44 of integrated circuits and a few cents of solder over a $73 replacement Jaguar. Plus, it'll be a good experience, and more motivation for me to build the hot-air soldering iron I've been thinking about for a couple months.
