You're *very* welcome.

There are some snippets of information out there that are absolutely invaluable and likely never ever to be
bettered.

I was lucky to find AN1040 early in my working life ! Before the internet and stuff - when you had still had to
ask for data manuals. How times have changed !

Ask? beg, more like. Here in NZ the component distributors used to be
real stingy bastards with databooks. If you were a $100,000,000 company
they'd give you boxes of the things; anyone else had to pay, sometimes
$50 per book. I used this argument to convince the Intel agents to give
me a complete set of databooks in about 1988, rather than make me pay
about $600.

That was not even that long ago (or am I getting old).

Nowadays google is your friend.
Can't imagine any engineering work without internet anymore. Even though I
am saving many PDFs and have a large collection, searching google is often
faster and more convenient than searching the hard drive.

yep, it does. welcome to the club. Become a senior member by casually referring to Jim Williams AN47.....

Do you have a link to that?

Searching for AN47 I found this list of interesting application notes:
http://www.oricomtech.com/misc/tek-rpt.htm

I suspect some links are dead (including AN47 unfortunately).

One year - about 1994 - I think I actually had an internet connection then... I wanted some Intel books too.

I phoned them up - the local office is Swindon UK.

They had some of the old sets from the previous year.

I persuaded them that since they'd simply be pulped otherwise maybe they'd like to send me a set. They did too !
