[sci.electronics] Motorola Cross Referencing - help wanted

depolo@eniac.seas.upenn.edu (Jeff DePolo) (04/06/91)

I'm looking for the name of a book and the publisher that contains 
cross references for Motorola RF parts.  Motorola doesn't seem to
publish one (I have the Master Selection Guide, along with the entire
Motorola Semiconductor Data Library, and they don't help).  It seems
that Motorola likes to come up with device numbers of their own in
attempt to thwart end users and repair shops from buying parts from
anyone except Mother Mo.

Most of the devices I'm trying to xref are RF devices, such as mixers,
amplifiers, etc.  Almost all have a Motorola part number of the form Mxxxx.
The actual devices on the boards have only the Mxxxx number on them
as well.  Go figure.  I've had somebody with an IC Master set try
to xref them as well, with no luck.

Anybody know of a book for converting these Mxxxx parts to real-people
2Nxxxx or other industry-standard part numbers?
