Brian Boles (BBoles@CCMAIL.MICROCHIP.COM), a Microchip employee who should know better, suggested the following to high-school student Steve Robinson: >What? You want FREE databooks?!? Your best bet is Digi-Key. Steve: Your best bet is NOT Digi-Key. Call Roy Sasaki at Microchip's Irvine office (714 263-1888) or John Andrews at the San Jose office (408 436-7950), explain your situation, and ask for copies of the Microchip Data Book and Embedded Control Handbook. I'm sure that both of them will be more than happy to send the books to you. -Andy -- Andrew Warren - fastfwd@ix.netcom.com Fast Forward Engineering, Vista, California
