Thanks. Well since I have to make a PSU and there are about 24 drivers=20
needed the high Vce isn't an issue.

But I can't find any, not even eBay. Nor a data sheet. I guess the=20
ULN2803 and ULN2003 only survived till today as they are so much more=20
generally useful.

(I hate the way those datasheet places show up at top of google even=20
when they don't actually have the datasheet.)
