That's Craplin for you, though. I went in to get a few nuts and bolts
(literally) a few weeks ago - "Sorry, Sir, we've stopped stocking those."
Same again for the BD140 transistors and the high current battery connector I
wanted.
Only thing I've got against Farnell is that they've stopped stocking the FCI
Minitek 2mm pitch connectors - they're now sold under the "Direct Ship"
scheme - in other words, "Pay extra and wait a week". Strange how not six
months ago Farnell UK stocked the Minitek crimps and headers. Does anyone
know of a source for 2mm-pitch connectors suitable for connection to the
RS232 port on a Hewlett Packard 700LX palmtop? The 100LX and 200LX use the
same connector, IIRC - 5x2 2mm-pitch female header (socket - holes, not
pins).
Later.
