Indeed.
Got three DVDs full of datasheets here, I'm updating and organizing as fast
as I can, as time permits. :-)

Meant to
include this in my earlier post -
Amongst the other "treasure" I've got a decent sized assortment of
old Motorola, Fairchild, Texas Instruments, Ferranti and National
Semiconductor Databooks. These are all for chips - analog parts,
ECL, MECL, TTL, CMOS logic, Special Function Devices, Memories etc.
Date range late 70's to early '90s.
Interesting you mention that now. I just today found I have 22 tubes
of assorted DIPs. 16 of them I've been able to find enough info to
use, if I have a need for them - but there are six more I haven't. I
was going to write here and ask if anyone knows where to find specs
(including pinouts) for these - I spent some time with google, and even
checked bitsavers.org and vt100.net (neither of which seems to have
that kind of info - perhaps I missed something?).
Specifically, what I have that's a mystery (/ represents a line break):
MCM2016HN70 / HID8625
CY7C409A-25PC / USA9225 91714
GAL16V8A / 15LP / L218D16 MC14034B / CP QQ8318
This one I can pretty well identify. Motorola had already used their 4000
series numbers on some earlier TTL stuff so they couldn't use them after the
4000 series CMOS parts came out, therefore they tacked a 1 in front of the
number. By any other maker that'd be a 4034. I'm pretty sure my parts pages
have data on that one. (Try
http://www.classiccmp.org/rtellason/by-generic-number.html )
If anyone
knows of a better home for these than the paper recycling
please let me know.
I'd like to snag them myself, but I can't help suspecting it would cost
an unpleasant amount to get them clear around the globe. My sense is
that most of the data is available on the 'net now on the
various archives.
Perhaps, but I cahn't help wondering where.
