Rumor has it that Richard Erlacher may have mentioned these words:

Yes, that is sad, however...
Fairchild Semi has a WWW site that I'd gotten all of their chip datasheets
in PDF format -- several gigs in fact. On my linux box, I downloaded the
entire PDF datasheet directory & archived it to CD-ROM. I don't have the
archive in any "quick-find" format, but if there are any weird chips out
there you need datasheets on, I might be able to get them to you within a
week (barring holidays... ;-)
Try here:
http://www.fairchildsemi.com/pf/
This is the main directory of all the chip PDFs, listed by first 2
characters of the part number -- DM houses most all of the 74xx series
parts they make, the 1N directory you can get data on all their diodes, etc...
I can tell you that if you have a modem, don't even try downloading this
whole thing -- It took me almost 24 hours with a pair of T1's to the
backbone (that's 3Mbit)!
HTH,
Roger "Merch" Merchberger
