The chip which is the CHMOS 8096BH replacement is designated the 80C196. The part can be configured to be pin compatible with the 8096, but because of the process change and other enhancements, it may not be plug compatible in some designs. This is to say that you will not be able to arbitrarily swap out a NMOS 8096 and replace it with the 80C196. However, if a few rules are followed the changes required will be almost painless.
