Re: mystery dac

Hello John,


How many datasheets do you have archived? How do you organize them?

I have about 2000, around 800 mbytes, on my hard drive, plus a lot od
old cd's lying around in heaps. I'm planning to start an official
company archive, where we save a data*** of any part we use on any
design.


When you do let us know what SW you found useful. I just got ScanSoft's PaperPort that supposedly allows the creation of an increasingly 'paperless' environment. But I didn't get around to trying it yet. Basically a scanning and archiving package.

They also offer a pro version with pdf conversion and all that. Still, I probably won't bring myself to parting with oldies such as National's 1976 Discretes Databook. More than once has this stuff saved the bacon when a client was stuck with a really old legacy design and couldn't get parts.

Regards, Joerg
