Another way to get the data you need - contact the companies whose products you use and ask them for the Product Data CD ROM. I currently have the following: Microchip 1997 Technical Library First Edition. Maxim Product Data Sheets 1997 Edition. Linear Technology "LinearView" Product Data and Applications V1.0 1996 Texas Instruments "LOGIC" CD ROM Second Edition September 1997 Texas Instruments "InfoNavigator" CD ROM Mixed-Signal and Analog September 1996 Duracell Battery Data Guide CD ROM Version 6H Farnell Semiconductor Data CD ROM Issue 1 and Issue 2 etc. Most of these need Acrobat 3 to view/print the Data Sheets (LinearView only works with Acrobat 2, supplied with it). Some are self-contained, but take about 5 Mbytes of Hard Disk space. Acrobat is best, because you get Data Sheets that look exactly like the ones in the Handbook. Farnell is the only one that can dial their Web Site if a particular Data Sheet is missing. Most companies are pleased to send you a CD ROM because it is much cheaper to produce and mail than a Handbook (although not so pleasant to use). Plus, they can fire almost the entire "documentation fulfilment" department. Maybe a Web Site is even cheaper to run. But with the Microchip CD ROM, I have ALL the data, ALL the Appnotes, and ALL the programming specs. Except that - suddenly I find I've got LAST year's CD ROM... John Blackburn, South London UK.
