From: John Larkin on 25 Sep 2006 18:01 Can someone verify whether the National web site is truly broken? It sure looks that way to me. In addition to all sorts of snarled links and stuff, there's no obvious way I can find, say, the datasheet of an LM7824... had to go to Fairchild's site! I'm running Firefox under XP. John

Then those companies drop stuff like hot potatoes, unfortunately. They don't seem to care whether someone needs an older data sheet. Broken web site? Try NXP. Had that "pleasure" this morning. IMHO that is one perfect example of how not to design web sites. Will they ever learn? -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com

I agree. I entered in LM7800 and got http://www.national.com/ds/LM/LM340.pdf#page=8 For LM78XX I got http://search.national.com/iphrase/query?query=LM78XX Regards, Boris Mohar Got Knock? - see: Viatrack Printed Circuit Designs (among other things) http://www.viatrack.ca void _-void-_ in the obvious place -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com

They discontinued that part number, *and* they broke the web site. John |
