Didn't National at one time (I'm too lazy to
go riffling through my data
books) have a IC family they called "Damn Fast"?
They were actualyl LH series analog buffer amps - two grades of "Fast" and
"Damn Fast". These were marketted for several years before some do-gooder
religious type complained, and the National Semi people took it out. Bob
Pease has a story about it.
The 'Damn Fast" datasheets exist - I have several editions in my databook
library.
And for the time, those buffers were truely DAMN FAST.
