        freetradezone is (effectively) gone now but
        I guess they would have had all this stuff.

        For TTL, I managed to get some CDs
        direct from TI:

        "Logic Selection Guide and Databook"
        "Designer's Guide and Databook"

        One or other of these has the TTL stuff.

        I did this a few years ago when I went to
        their website, found the technical literature
        section, clicked on the ones I wanted
        and filled in my employer's address.

        CDs turned up in the post, free, about
        two weeks later.

        Same thing worked for the Intel Developer
        CDs - these turned up quarterly for a while.
        I cannot find the sign up section anymore so
        I guess they've stopped (or they are somewhat
        more selective ...!)

        Motorola, Amtel, AMD and Cypress have
        all sent CDs too.

        It does save downloading and it certainly saves
        a good deal of space on the shelves too!
