Hi guys
i need to make a desicion (spelling?).
The 4044 is very hard for me to get since rapid online, the cheapest place only sells them in bulk. Now, the 4044 is very important since i use it as an eletronic switch that can drive data to a bus since it is tristated. Now, i know i could do the job even more cheap with transistors, but they take alot of room.
Which one should i use, the 44's or transistors?
Also, are there any chips that are like DIP with eletronic switches?
(PS, i have had a look at some 8 bit bus drivers, very complicated though )

I have seen bilateral switches like the http://www.rapidonline.com/netalogue/specs/83-0338.pdf
is the control like a base of a transistor so i put a high on the control and then the signals can travel through?
