hi,

Pile of data books in search of a good home...

I have a collection of perhaps 80 or 100 data books for various
logic, CPU and DSP devices and device families, mostly dating
from around 1988-1994 but with a few earlier and later than this.

Don't expect them to be any use for real day-to-day work;
they describe devices almost all of which are entirely obsolete.

Some are real curiosities - the first and, I think, only data book
for Crosspoint FPGAs, for example. Others are more mundane:
Philips 74FTTL and suchlike. With a heavy heart, I now think
it's time to part with them. I had dreams of settling down and
writing some kind of history of the development of logic design
over the 1970-2000 period, but by the time I have enough
leisure to do it I suspect I won't have the skill or stamina.

So, they're yours if you can offer them a loving home and
can work out with me how to get them from south-east
England to you without it costing me anything.

cheers

Hi Jonathan,

Do you have a list or good enough picture somewhere on the web? I'd like to
have a peek and see if there's anything I'd like (if you don't mind
splitting up the collection). Would paying shipment by Paypal work for you?

Alvin.

There's always ebay. I suspect you might have one or two books in the
collection that someone might want for nostalgia or something. I tossed
my collection dating from about the same time period...including that
same crosspoint data book...a few years ago when I was remodeling my
office. I did save a few books like the TRW data book with DSP
components, a hardcover 1976 Signetics data book and a few others that I
had a particular attachment to. I reduced four full bookcases of
outdated data books to half a shelf worth. Mine went to the recycling
center.

I'll post a complete list as soon as I get back home on Thursday.

Hello stranger, (to s.e.d these days anyway).
