Electronics resource
One of the problems when working with do-it-yourself electronics is finding data on the "obsolete" chips that are still in widespread use.
A few manufacturers keep their older stuff online (kudos as this is only a few pennies of webspace) but most stuff just drops into the bit bucket.
I just ran into this website
www.alldatasheet.com and it comes pretty close to living up to its name.
The user interface seems a bit awkward but if you are familiar with the standards for parts numbers, it's actually pretty straightforward.
I am into Analog Synthesizers and I typed in the part numbers for a few obscure chips and darned if they didn't have PDF files of the data sheets... Excellent resource if you are trying to repair or modify something or reading a DIY article from a few years ago and trying to replicate it with modern components.
Good stuff... Funded by Google Ads so be sure to click on a few of them so the site gets the revenue.
