I finally have all the right parts for the subject, and have it all
breadboarded together for a step-down converter
(http://jrem.webhop.org/2360_a.jpg).  I'm running approx 17vdc in, 5v
out, pulling about 80ma@5vdc, and that inductor gets HOT (too hot to
touch).  Is this normal? what do you do to heatsink an inductor like
this?

Regards, John.
