[sci.electronics] Microcontrollers: need where to get info

gil@limbic.UUCP (Gil Kloepfer Jr.) (08/27/88)

I just saw the article in Byte magazine by Steve Ciarcia about how to
design circuits using Microcontrollers.  Where can one get a data book
on these beasts?  I'm sure mailing away to Intel/Motorola/Nat Semi would
get me an answer a few weeks down the road, but I'm interested in seeing
some info *now* (sounds really interesting :-)

Does anyone know where data books can be purchased, how long it would take
to get them, and how much they cost.  I'm fooling with a project in my
spare time which one of these chips would save me hours of effort!

Please mail directly to me, and I will summarize to the net.  Thanks in
advance for your help!

	With regard to data books in general... Go through the larger
distributors (I.E. Schweber, Hamilton Avnet, Pioneer, Gerber.....).
They will usually respond in a short period of time and never seem to
require money up front.  Even as a grad student I found that I could
rely on these sources whereas the manufacturers never seemed to respond.
