Who's rewired their house for this hobby?

There is still a fair amount of new old stock somewhere, maybe people are salvaging chips off boards. It is still a standard method of sending trigger signals around in nuclear data acquisition systems, and MC10124 and 10125 TTL-ECL translators are used a lot, but otherwise ECL logic functions are RARELY used. Now, everybody in the nuclear business is moving to LVDS, gives all the advantages of fast differential signalling without the huge power dissipation. (My day job is in the area of nuclear signal processing, and I designed a bunch of ECL gear about 20 years ago. We still use that stuff, and I maintain it, but haven't built anything new except occasionally using a 10124 or 10125 to connect to the old stuff. For logic, we can do stuff with FPGAs that will run rings around the old ECL.) Jon
