I got mine unsolicited in the mail a couple of months ago. I only glanced at it briefly enough to note that it covers discretes only, whereas my interests lie almost exclusively in digital logic parts. It does support some amount of searching by family/by parameter/by part number/etc. but I don't recall specifics. I think it would be great if they expanded it to include digital logic. (Now, how fast is this MC10H116, anyway? Could you hand me that brown book on the bookshelf? :-) ) (I added sci.electronics to the newsgroups, and directed followups there.) R. T.

Unless the 10KH datasheets are a whole lot better than the worthless junk that passed for 10K datasheets last time I looked... I'm really not impressed by a so-called datasheet that doesn't even give the minimum pulse width for a clock input. Especially when Fairchild's 100K datasheets are models of clarity and high information content. -- SunOSish, adj: requiring | Henry Spencer at U of Toronto Zoology 32-bit bug numbers. | uunet!attcan!utzoo!henry henry@zoo.toronto.edu
