That and the TIL311 is an almost like-for-like copy of the HP displays used
in the COSMAC Elf (anyone remember that article in Popular Electronics
magazine?). I built a COSMAC Elf with TIL311 displays. There's a photo of it
on www.cosmacelf.com.
I also bought two of them at a hamfest as spares and now I wish I'd bought
ten of them! I've found loads of places where I could have used TIL311s...
Does anyone here have any '311s they want rid of? Or perhaps someone knows
of a surplus store that still sells them? I've also got some TI TIL311s
marked as "DIS1417 TI 0014 KOREA". Just to let you know what to look out for
:)

If you or anyone else here could track down a few TIL311s for me and give me
some idea of price, that would be great.
Thanks.
