Steve Anchell's Darkroom Cookbook 1st edition has the following formula
for "Diafine Type" Developer.

Sol A

Water 125f/52c             750 ml
Sodium Sulfite Anyhydrous    35.0 grams
Hydroquinone            6.0 grams
Phenidone            0.2 grams
Sodium bisulfite        6.0 grams   
Cold water to make        1.0 liter

Sol B

Water 125f/52c            750 ml
Sodium sulfite            65.0 grams   
Borax                20.0 grams
Cold water to to make        1.0 liter

    soak in A bath for 3 minutes, then to the B bath for 3 minutes with out
rinsing in between. Do not use a presoak.
    Note: Do not use an acid stop bath. Use a water rinse for 30 seconds to
1 ninute. A god fixer to use with this formula is Photographers
Formulary TF-4.

 Patrick Dignan has that formula in his book Classic B&W
Formulas. Apparently a Mr. Ronald W. Anderson takes the
credit for that substitute formula and a few others.
 He suggests using, rather than the metaborate, an equal
amount of borax for D-76 like results. Dan
