Thinning the heard

the the chips freetradezone is (effectively) gone now but I guess they would have had all this stuff. For TTL, I managed to get some CDs direct from TI: "Logic Selection Guide and Databook" "Designer's Guide and Databook" One or other of these has the TTL stuff. I did this a few years ago when I went to their website, found the technical literature section, clicked on the ones I wanted and filled in my employer's address. CDs turned up in the post, free, about two weeks later. Same thing worked for the Intel Developer CDs - these turned up quarterly for a while. I cannot find the sign up section anymore so I guess they've stopped (or they are somewhat more selective ...!) Motorola, Amtel, AMD and Cypress have all sent CDs too. It does save downloading and it certainly saves a good deal of space on the shelves too! Antonio
