Chain Problems - For the love of everything, and my sanity, please help.

I bought a Shimano chain(which will never happen again). I think it was an HG70. It says 8sp, HG, and Narrow on the chain. It came with a stupid little single use pin to connect it. I needed to remove the chain to move the drive-train to another bike and wanted to use some sort of quick-link to reconnect it, and also make it field serviceable and easier to clean the chain. I can't seem to find a quick-link for this chain. I've tried the 8sp SRAM, KMC Missing Link, and Missing Link II. Does my unicorn exist, or should I just throw this practically new chain in the donation bin and buy a SRAM? I'm about done with it after 4 different bike shops and a fair amount of misinformation(mostly online, but some from the shops too), but figured I'd try one last resort and ask here since you guys know basically everything.
